who manages the organization's thrift stores in Eureka Springs and Berryville. She added that all proceeds from the thrift stores support the shelter and that the organization depends completely on volunteers. "We have been making some amazing strides recently." She says that in addition to taking care of animals and assisting other animal rescues, they've hosted rabies clinics where pets could get their vaccinations and wellness checks for $10 per animal. "We just have an amazing organization." This year the shelter will offer chocolate-covered gummies, different chocolate barks, Almond Joy and Mounds-inspired sweets, and dipped pretzels at their booths. While there will not be any dogs to meet at the event, "we will have information on the animals that are available [for adoption]," she says. The organization will be accepting donations at the booth as well. More information on Good Shepherd Humane Society is available on its Facebook page or at the thrift stores in Berryville (207 Eureka Ave.) or Eureka Springs (249 W. Van Buren St.). This year the chamber will also debut its Eureka Springs Chocolate Tour in addition to the festival. Henderson says that those who purchased tickets will receive a "passport" that will gain them discounts, samples and other goodies from participating local businesses such as retail shops, restaurants and even wineries around Eureka Springs. Local Eureka Springs' favorite Mike Gruning will return to provide music at this year's event. Gruning performs both originals and several styles of covers from David Bowie and Johnny Cash to Prince, Moody Blues and One Republic. Festivalgoers will also have a chance to win a Lover's Weekend Getaway in Eureka Springs, and the 2022 Eureka Springs Visitor Guide will also be available at the chamber's booth. The festival was canceled last year due to covid concerns, but it will have safety precautions in place this year, says Lewis. "There is not a mask 'requirement' per se, but we will have masks available, signs posted to wear them and will ask everyone as they enter to please put one on," she adds. www.malco.com www.malco.com www.malco.com WWW.MALCO.COM WWW.MALCO.COM FOR MORE INFO: BENTONAR.ORG/MYACBIKEFUNDRAISER CYNThIA.NESBITT@BENTONAR.ORG BENTON MYAC BIKE RACE FUNDRAISER Fun for the Whole Family!
