Arkansans are all about the outdoors. The wintertime can put a bit of a cramp in those plans for fun outdoors, but there are a few occasions worth bundling up for and bracing against the cold. One of those events is the annual outdoor festival called LANTERNS!, which will be held on February 2-4 at Wildwood. This marks the fourth year of the festival, and we are so excited to attend this enchanting, internationally themed event, and we think you will be too.
The festival celebrates the...
