‘Luau at the Lake’
Inagural event features authentic pig roast and luau entertainment
on spectacular Greers Ferry Lake
Saturday, August 4th at Fairfield Bay Marina
Fairfield Bay’s summer fun continues with the inaugural “Luau at the Lake” at the Fairfield Bay Marina. Bring your grass skirts, leis, and flowered shirts and celebrate with a day of games, traditional luau music, and food of an authentic Hawaiian Luau.
“Our summer has never been better,” remarks John Conry, Fairfield Bay Marina Manager. “People love this beautiful lake and we celebrate that as much as we can. So the fun continues with an authentic Hawaiian Luau – from the food to the music to the amazing show, you’ll think you’ve been transported to the big island!”
The fun kicks off at 4:00… with contests for best Hawaiian costume, a Hawaiian dance contest, best hula hoop, and best limbo. There will even be a mechanical bull to ride, sponsored by Steve Landers Cowboy Dodge in Clinton. Can you make it 8 seconds?
What is Luau Without Food? Dinner will be served at 5:30. Join us as we have a traditional Hawaiian pig roast, as well as an abundance of other island dishes to enjoy. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Fairfield Bay Marina. Hot dogs and chips will also be available for the kiddos for $5. Tickets are limited, so don’t wait to get yours – you definitely don’t want to miss this party!
All This and a Show! No luau is complete without music. Our Luau will feature the sounds of Hawaiian drums, singers, and a fire show. Sit back and relax as the dancers and fire dancers take you on a journey to the islands – you’ll think you’re really there!

Care Caps meets the 2nd Monday of the month….we do NOT meet in April and October!
ANYONE CAN HELP…..BRING NOTHING….FFBAY VISITORS AND RESIDENTS WELCOME!!!!!
From one person to hundreds… From one Care Cap™ to thousands…
The story of Care Cap Connections™ is the story of Mary Philips’ desire to help her sister, diagnosed with terminal cancer, bald from harsh but life-extending chemotherapy.
Mary could sew expertly; Linda could not. Frustrated by scratchy wigs, unattractive turbans plus the scarcity and expense of nice kerchiefs, Linda was further depressed. Baldness left her feeling “…less than a woman”; her search for comfortable and pretty head coverings drew blanks.
Mary sewed samples. Linda liked and appreciated the garments—so much that she began to give them away to others in chemo. The need began to snowball. Demand far outstripped supply.
Friends volunteered to help Mary with the project. Others heard and joined the experience.
Today, more than 1,500 women, men and young people come together under Mary’s leadership to fabricate and deliver free of charge, “Care Caps™”, a health and human services support project that reaches thousands undergoing treatments in major cancer centers.
Her vision and leadership has developed “The Care Cap Way” of cutting, pinning, sewing and packaging comfortable kerchiefs. In five years, over 34,000 caps have been made for chemotherapy patients and shipped to the American Cancer Society and cancer clinics nationwide.
To Mary and her helpers, a cap is a person; many, many people now receive their encouragement and love – people not even known by the workers.
In mid-2007 and 2011, Mary accepted three awards on behalf of her volunteers: the noted Arkansas Community Service trophy and citations from the Arkansas State Senate and House of Representatives. Following the 2007 presentation, in an off-the-cuff comment, the NBC television program moderator could be seen and heard on camera – his grin was infectious as he exclaimed, “That’s good stuff!”
And so it is – “good stuff” – and Mary believes it must continue.
Care Cap Connections™ is a division of Volunteer America – 1776, designated by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) public charity. All gifts are tax deductible. No officer, Board member or project partner is paid and no goods are sold.
In 2007, Mary’s sister, Linda, died. Mary’s dream and vision have not. Individuals, corporations and foundations are urged to keep this unique project alive.
