Yesterday, as I returned home to Eureka Springs from the State bed and breakfast meeting, I drove through the Boxley Valley in the Buffalo River National Park and saw a herd of about 40 elk grazing in a small pasture right next to the road. 
This year Eureka Gras, the way the traditional Mardis Gras is celebrated here in this historic Arkansas Ozark community, will have a whole host of festive activities that will see hearts, arms, umbrellas, and a hotel open for a weekend of revelry that would make anyone from Vieux Carré sit up, take notice and start parading. Eureka Gras 2010 begins Thursday, February 4.
