Celebrate July4th in Eureka Springs

Can you believe it's only a month until we celebrate July 4th?  I have the perfect weekend plan for your celebration.  July 2nd arrive at Red Bud Manor and after you unpack have a special ice cream treat on the new rear deck.  Later take a nice stroll up the street for dinner at Ermilios Italian Home Cooking restaurant.  July 3rd starts with a healthy, sumptuous breakfast at the Manor followed by a walk to downtown for some shopping and lunch.  Come back to Red Bud Manor Inn for a brief nap before heading out to Black Oak Amphitheatre for a night of Classic 70s Rock with Styx, Foreinger & Kansas. 
After a ten year hibernation, the Black Oak Amphitheater has undergone a  renovation and now the 7,000 seat outdoor amphitheatre is back in action.  Located in Lampe, Missouri, about half-way between Eureka Springs and Branson.  You can find out more information about the concert and purchase tickets from http://www.blkoakamp.com/
July 4th you start of the day with a Red, White and Blueberry breakfast at the Manor.  Afterwards you can either head back downtown for more shopping or visit some of our newest attractions such s the Queen Anne Mansion or the Underground Eureka Tour.  Fireworks that evening will be at 9:30 PM in Holiday Island, a fifteen minute drive from the Manor.  You can start the evening earlier by attending the pulled pork dinner sponsored by the Holiday Island Chamber of Commerce and then listen to music by Jerry Yester of the Lovin' Spoonful from 5-7PM.   
Plan your three day getaway now so you won't miss out on any of the fun!
