As the seasons transition, festival season kicks into high gear. Set to take place a bit early, Hot Springs’ Oktoberfest is being revived, and the funds will benefit a worthy organization that changes lives in a way that truly causes a ripple effect. Read more about Oktoberfest and The FACES Foundation on page 80. We turn our attention to Fort Smith for something a bit unexpected, then venture further north to Fayetteville to showcase a lovely master bedroom. While there we indulged our inner children with cookies and ice cream during a visit to one of the region’s popular food trucks and dined at one of our favorite steakhouses, Mister B’s. We also highlight the beautiful home of Lee and Scheri Scarlett and share recipes inspired by several foodcentric movies. In this month’s pages, we introduce you to several courageous women — survivors, one of sexual abuse, others of breast cancer. As always, we like to hear from you. Drop us a line via email or snail mail.
