You know you live in a pretty special place when your community leaders (public and private) are always trying earnestly to improve the quality of life in your community. Its been said most people just exist, but few really live. If you're just existing in Fayetteville, AR its only because you're not trying to live in Fayetteville, AR. So here goes: Top ten things that make my hometown great: #10 - Gulley Park Summer Concerts.

Several years ago, some really brilliant people decided that we as as community could do more to come together in what is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful municipal parks in the country. Gulley Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas is an amazing example of a municipal asset and community amenity. Throw in 6 summer concerts around the hugh pavilion that is the centerpiece of the park. And you got yourself an old fashion good time.

The bands are very diversified, from In-Town favorites like Big'uns to out-of-town surprises like Waylon and the Texas All-Stars. But its the people who make it a Thursday night summer favorite. Just bring the wife, kids, pets, lawn chairs and ice chest - food vendors are on site and let that old time socializing begin. Talk about being a social animal, this will bring out the best in ya.

If you're lucky, you'll have good friends like our buddies Gina and Anthony Lee who got us involved with the Palm Squad. A great bunch of folks from Crye Lieke Realtors who congregate under a 4 ft plastic palm tree as their site marker. It has become a summer favorite and Judy and I really get to where we look forward to the next concert all summer long and hate it when have to miss one or when summer comes to a end.
Gulley Park Summer Concerts just of the many things that makes my hometown great.
