On June 4 - 7, Girl Scout Troop 40880 of Belle Plaine took a trip to Eureka Springs, AR.  Their trip started Thursday with a stop at Henry’s Candy Company in Dexter, KS. The girls were able to stop for lunch in the park in Baxter Springs. The last stop of the day was in Bentonville, AR to visit a Vietnam Memorial at the local airport. 

            Friday the girls spent the day in Eureka Springs, starting at the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Railway, where they rode the train and were able to see what happens when money is left on the tracks.  After the train ride they were off to Judge Roy Bean’s Old Time Photos, where they all dressed in clothes from the Victorian era and had their pictures taken.  They panned for gems at the Cosmic Cavern and saw two bottomless lakes.  After supper, it was time for the last activity of the day, the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down Music Theater- the girls had a laughing good time and also got to meet the cast. 

            Saturday ended up being much more relaxed.  The day was spent at the lake house fishing and hiking at Beaver Dam. Sunday was time to head back home, although the girls wanted to spend much more time at the lake.

            Thanks to all of those who made the trip possible!
