January #LRTweetup welcomes @ARtourism
Ready for a laidback atmosphere? What about a very cool sneak peak?
You can enjoy both at this months tweetup at Prost, Jan 28 5:30pm
From their site:
Prost the newest addition to Willy D’s Little Rock is now open. Prost is a pub style bar with great beers on tap and a wide selection in bottles. Prost also offers great gourmet sandwiches and sausages. If you are looking for great food and cool chill place to have a beer Prost is for you.
Good food, beer, and some room to chillax sound just right for LRTweetup. Prost is kindly offering a few specials to us and we’ll update you as details come in.
But now for the big news…
Sneak Peak from Arkansas.com
Our friend @DenaJill from Arkansas Parks and Tourism is going let us be the first to see the new social hub of Arkansas.com. How cool is that ? What better place to talk about social and the web than at LRTweetup. We’ll also have all of the Arkansas’ travel bloggers join us for the preview. Social medians and bloggers in the same room could lead some to really interesting ideas about sharing travels from around our beautiful state.
We are so pleased to welcome Dena and the Department of Arkansas Parks and Tourism to this months LRTweetup. We’ve all been watching their innovation and they are just one more reason I’m proud to call Arkansas home. (Maybe if we’re nice we can get a preview of their soon to be released iPhone app).
Please use our twtvite to RSVP and the event to your calendar.

If you’ve never seen the lights at Garvan Woodland Gardens then you are in for a real treat. Garvan Woodland Gardens comes alive at night during the holidays thanks to 1.7 million lights and the beauty of this lighted landscape is truly a wonder not to be missed.
This is a family event so bring the kids, have some hot chocolate, toast marshmallows and just enjoy.
Cost is $5.50 for adults, $3:50 for children 6-12, free for ages 5 and younger. Sunset is at 5:00 so there is plenty of time to enjoy the lights and still get the little ones into bed at a good time.
Garvan Woodland Gardens is located at 550 Arkridge Road, Hot Springs, Arkansas (map / directions). We’ve got several friends of LRTweetup in Hot Springs so we hope to see some new faces when we visit the Spa City.
We can’t wait.
