When was the last time you played croquet, jumped a potato sack race, or played marbles? Join the staff at Powhatan Historic State Park, located two miles south of Black Rock on Highway 25, to play these games and enjoy the day with us. In partnership with Take a Child Outside Week, the park will have booths featuring games played by all ages from the Victorian Era to today, as well as several races. Some of the games offered to play include old-fashioned sack races, croquet, graces, marbles, tag and freeze tag, apple dunking, jump rope, jacks, yo-yos, checkers, horseshoes, and more. So bring your family, a picnic lunch, some lawn chairs, and spend the day enjoying a little bit of Yesteryear! For more information, contact the park at 870-878-6765 or email powhatan@arkansas.com

Cemetery Monument Care Workshop
Saturday October 8, 2011
9:00am – 12:00noon
Free Admission
Â
Have you ever wondered how to properly care for a loved one’s cemetery monument? Or needed to have one repaired or restored? Learn what you can do, and what you shouldn’t do, to care for stone and concrete monuments. Wear outdoor work clothes, and bring your own drinking water, chair and note-taking materials. Plastic gloves, plastic brush pot scrubbers, and small buckets are helpful if you already have them. We will supply the instructor and cleaning materials for hands-on experience you can use the rest of your life. Meet at the Powhatan Cemetery on Hwy. 117 Spur near Powhatan. For more information, contact the park at 870-878-6765 or email powhatan@arkansas.com
