10 WHAT'S UP! JULY 3-9, 2022 LIVE! IN NWA Ley Lines, Abby Howard, Ashtyn Barbaree Headline First Thursday MONICA HOOPER NWA Democrat-Gazette M usic, yoga and slow bike rides are all part of the "Ozark Oasis" coming to the Fayetteville downtown square for First Thursday on July 7. Performing music will be Abby Howard, Ley Lines and Ashtyn Barbaree; serving as emcee is Melissa Caffrey, camp and programs director at Mount Sequoyah. "Every First Thursday has three live performances, a vendor market, art installations, kids' zone, slow roll bike rides, and more. The experience changes each time with all activities relating to that month's overall concept. The themes can be broad, like 'A Closer Look,' while some are more literal like 'Dog Daze.' All events serve to highlight local creative talent and celebrate our community," says Chloe Bell, community engagement manager for Experience Fayetteville. There will be a free yoga class at 6 p.m. with Trailside Yoga at the Fayetteville Town Center terrace. Food trucks Sweet Scoops Blender Bar, Margaret's Juan Rose, Hype Coffee, Poor Man's Pizza, Saguaro Southwest Grill, Flavorful Kettle Corn, ShoBo's Kitchen and Arkan-Thaw Ice Shavers will have food and drinks for sale. There will also be a pop-up art installation with a woven waterfall by artists Abby Hollis, Sezanna Wallace and Ziba Rajabi "composed of warp made of retired climbing ropes from Arkansas climbers and weft made of regionally found objects and fibers" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Buffalo River. A group bike ride will tour Fayetteville's creeks and trails. The ride takes off from the square at 6 p.m. Organizers say that the ride is kid- friendly, but they advise against Strider bikes and training wheels. E-scooters welcome. The next First Thursday event will be Aug. 4. The theme will be "Dog Daze" and will feature Jasper Logan. For more information on First Thursday, visit experiencefayetteville. com.
