EVENTS
Please call before you travel, in case of last minute cancellations, due to weather or otherwise, as I may not get the notice in time. Festivals in states that are adjacent or close to Arkansas, are noted as a courtesy. For Arkansas Weather Conditions and Forecasts, click here. For Arkansas Road Conditions, click here. Most dances are in the evenings, but check the flyer/website to be sure. Shortly after the event is finished, it will be removed from the ASSDF website.
