In and out of Arkansas

So...you have finally saved up some extra money , so you and your people can take a little vacation . In today's economy, you really have to make each dollar count. Where can you go?, How can you get there? and Can you do it within Budget?

Yes. Little Rock, Arkansas has a lot to do, and it can all be done on a limited budget.

As Fall and winter come to our Natural State, we have the Arkansas Razorbacks who have some serious College Ball Fans, but you ain't seen nothing until you have tailgated and sported an Uncle Hoagie Hog Hat!

Our city hosts two large events each Fall. The Susan G. Komen race for the cure , and the Arkansas State Fair . The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure are held all over the Nation, but what happens in our streets of Little Rock, is the biggest love fest you have ever felt. When you join these survivors, ladies and their menfolk, you will be guaranteed to have been moved in your heart.

The Arkansas State Fair is probably where they first decided to fry a Snickers Bar and then later; why the heck not, fry some Dr. Pepper! I can hear them now... The Arkansas State Fair is a decent sized fair, with good rides. A lot of safety measures are in place to keep it family and fun. The worst part is the parking, but that seems to be a common theme everyplace here. (2011 has not been decided yet)

In order to get you in and out of Arkansas, I am going to mention a few other spots bordering our State, because there are lots of festivals, football and hunting activities happening.

Bow season opens October 1, 2011 at Sunrise.

When Fall comes people's moods improve tremendously. Our Summers are Hot, but the summer of 2010 was the Hottest on record. There was also, a very hot fall. We were past the bad mood, into plain whipped. Our crime rate even went down.

When it cools down, we come back to life, and cannot wait to put some extra clothes on, to warm ourselves back up. This is the time of year that our menfolks can be found trolling the isle's of Wal-Mart, not for 2-Legged Deer, but for the stuff to git them a 4-Legged Deer.

For those of you who feel bad for Bambi, and don't like hunting, please do not be alarmed. The majority of killing that happens in these woods are 6-Packs, 18-Packs and the famous Keg Buck . I do not mean to alarm you, but these guys will kill Beer all day long, just to watch them die. The men stay out in the woods all week, eating all the goodies Momma packed for them; "just in case they don't get anything", they do not have to bathe, and they do not even have to change their clothes. Oh, the stories they will tell...

All week long, I have been gathering places for you to eat and stay. Doe's Eat Place, Hibernia Irish Tavern, Shogun Japanese Steakhouse, Sticky Fingerz Rock and Roll Chicken Shack, Terrace in the Green, and many more. I have included places for those staying out of the woods to go visit: The Arkansas Repertory Theater, Clinton Presidential Center, Heifer International Headquarters, the Arkansas River Market Area, and The Loony Bin Comedy Club.

Hurry back soon!

PR_am, thank you very much. I have traveled the South extensively, and the prices have to be low enough that our median income(s)can participate. There is a lot of affordable activities in Arkansas. Hope y'all come for a 'look n' see'. :0)

Love the title alone - but so much useful information here! The Deep South is one area of the country that I've wanted to visit, but just never been allll the way there from Oregon. Thumbs up - great work!

Thank you stephhicks! It is different, I was born in CA, and came here as a stranger in a strange land, but it does have charm, and some of the kindest people in the world. Beautiful mountains too...

Great info and cool maps. I haven't been through Arkansas in quite a while but when I do go through there, it's usually across I – 40 and I – 30. There's a little truck stop at exit 5 on I – 440 on the northbound side that I stop at when I do go through there.

nice hubs... you have very beautiful pictures. I'll give Little Rock a try for my next budget vacation. Wondering about the Razorbacks tailgating experience. I hope it is as fun or better than YellowJacket tailgating. :)

Dear chan0512, Razorback Tailgating is a Religion, so I would say the experience will be thrilling. They play one more game in Little Rock this month. It will be Hog Wild - and fun!
