The next Pea Ridge community gathering will take place on Thursday, August 10, at 7 p.m. in the community center.   

Area residents and interested persons are cordially invited to attend and bring a churn of homemade ice cream. If you are unable to supply ice cream, please bring toppings or fruits, desserts, snacks and beverage. Paperware will be furnished. The center is located at 207 Big Level Road, 3.5 miles east of Mill Spring, just off Hwy. 108.

The evening guest speaker will be Pea Ridge resident Eric Morlino who will present on rock climbing and mountaineering with pictures and equipment. Everyone is invited.

Reminders:  You may bring your recyclables to the center any time all day Thursday, August 10 as the Polk County recycling containers will be located inside the tennis court fence for your drop-off. The truck will pick up later that day or early on Friday, August 11.

If you have questions, call Daryl Hardin at 828-894-8376.
