American icon Willie Nelson will perform live at the Summit Arena in Hot Springs on Feb. 21, 2010. The arena is a smaller, more intimate venue to see and enjoy this concert. Of course, you’re invited to stay at Lookout Point while in Hot Springs for the concert!
“Nelson is widely recognized as an American icon. His distinctive music and other social and political activities sometimes take a backseat to his pop-culture public image, marked by his red hair, often divided into two long braids partially concealed under a bandana. He has been active in social and political causes ranging from tax protests to support for a Democratic effort in the mid-2000s to bust up a Republican gerrymandering attempt in Texas.” HotSprings.org.
Currently Willie Nelson is performing in Austin to raise funds for Haiti earthquake relief.

Live Racing Begins Jan 15, 2010
Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas launches the 2010 race season with four days of live racing, beginning Friday, January 10. The annual back-in-time Saturday features bargain 50 cent corned beef sandwiches (Oaklawn has GREAT corned beef) and 10 cent soft drinks. Such a deal, if you don’t mind waiting in line!
Oaklawn has the highest attendance of any live race meet in the U.S., with enthusiastic fans, trainers, and owners coming from all over the country. Since I know nothing about racing, I enjoy watching the horses, jockeys, and people studying the racing forms. While we serve breakfast at the inn, guests pore over the morning’s guides, circling in on their favs.
Come visit Lookout Point and Hot Springs during the race meet! We’ll be happy to make reservations for you at Oaklawn Park.

C
ome celebrate birthdays with cake and refreshments on January 15! It’s a big day: the hero of my childhood, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have turned 81 on January 15. That’s reason enough to celebrate. His life and his death had a big impact upon me and our country!
As a child moving to Arkansas during the days of segregation, I felt in my soul the pain of separation and prejudice based upon color. I didn’t understand the separate drinking fountains and entrances. Hearing Dr. King speak, stirrings of hope and truth rang clear.
Believing that all life is a gift, I think the day of our births are worthy of celebration. January 15 is also my birthday, and I’m honored to have been born on Martin Luther King’s day!
I invite you to come stay at Lookout Point, have a slice of celebratory cake and a glass of wine or tea, and share a dream. I hope to see you on my birthday. 
Kristie

One of the wonderful aspects of living in, or visiting, Hot Springs Arkansas is strolling through the Garvan Gardens in December. This wonderland of lights never fails to inspire and strike awe for all ages of folks.
Our family enjoyed a long walk through the gardens, amazed by the variety of light displays. On the chilly night, the complimentary cup of hot cocoa near the miniature railroad provided a warm treat.
In addition to the lights, Garvan Gardens hosts terrific concerts in the Anthony Chapel. December 7: Holiday concert with the chorus of Ouachita Baptist University; December 8: Holiday concert featuring the Henderson University Chamber Chorale; December 13: Voices of Angels with the talented Deleen Davidson, 5:00pm; December 21: Hot Springs Flute Ensemble; December 22: Concert with vocalists Stephen and Denise Edds.

Wafting through the inn today were the peals of laughter, carols sung in three part harmony, and the delicious scent of maple praline bread pudding baking.
These wonderful women, The Babes of Wine & Roses, celebrated time together with a luncheon at Lookout Point. The organizer, Kit, commented in an e-mail to Lookout Point:
Dear Kristie & Ray, On behalf of The Babes of Wine and Roses, many thanks for a terrific luncheon today. We all agreed that you have a charming Inn and it was so much fun to take your tour. Our luncheon was a great success due to your gracious hospitality. Thank you for making this one terrific Christmas party for our group. We will definitely be letting our neighbors know what a gem you have there and also other Red Hat groups in The Village. Thanks again.

20th annual Ouachita Jeep Jamboree
Guests Shelle & Alberto traveled from Dallas to participate in the challenging Jeep Jamboree held outside of Hot Springs. With rocky vertical challenges, mud pits, water crossings, and various competitions, the Jamboree brought participants from around the U.S. At times, Shelle and Alberto found the rock challenges not only thrilling, but nail biting. With a jeep covered in mud, they had a great time! Thanks for staying at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn! We’re guessing the whirlpool tub at the end of the day soothed a few sore muscles.
The inn is only 4 1/2 hours from Dallas, so the guests were able to depart for Dallas and make it home in time to attend the Dallas Cowboys game. Sweet.
