A great magic show, loved the up close and personal relationship with the audience! We've seen several magicians and Sean-Paul does an amazing job! Looking forward to taking our 7 year old granddaughter next week, she wants to see him cut his arm off and cut the woman in half! She's hoping the ghost talker will read her mind-good luck on that one!

My wife and I decided to stay a couple of nights in Eureka Springs Arkansas recently and were looking at some of the thing visitors might be interested in. Our Hotel manager recommend we visit the FRESH HARVEST TASTING room to check out the premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars. After arriving we were greeted by Annaleis McGlothin, the tasting room guide. We have never had a more pleasent experience or met such a knowledgable and friendly guide as Annaleis. She explained the differences between their products and other commercial grade olive oils, led us through the tasing of several of their premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars, provided recipes, directions on mixing and educated us on the history of their products and why consumers should be wary of off the shelf olive oil products. Annaleis answered all of our questions and demonstrated a complete and throurough knowledge of her company's products as well as how they were made, their origins and the best uses for cooking, marinating or just dipping with bread. We highly recommend you make this part of your visit to Eureka Springs.

We visited during our Eureka Springs trip and I really enjoyed stopping by. Free samples of wine were great, as well as some Gluehwine/mulled wine and moonshine. They had a very friendly and chatty cat, Ranger (sp?), who was going between tables looking for attention & crackers. I can only speak to the sweet wines that I tried, but I enjoyed all the samples and took a glass on-site and a bottle to go. Definitely quality stuff! The COVID paranoia is real in the Eureka Springs area, and here too we were seated outside only and expected to wear masks. As silly as that seems to me, I can't fault the owners for taking precautions as to avoid government-mandated fines or other penalties. One of the owners, Greg, was very pleasant to talk to and willing to share some stories about the stills he uses and some of his future plans. His wife, on the other hand, seemed fairly unfriendly and snippy - maybe just having a bad day? We all took somewhat sour impressions of her, though thankfully Greg + Ranger saved the day hospitality-wise. Free parking, easy to get to, and nestled in a nice hillside spot, I definitely recommend a stop here.
