May is Arkansas Heritage Month
The theme for Arkansas Heritage Month 2007 is "Our Business is Heritage." Heritage professionals work with limited resources to preserve history, stories, sites, and artifacts of local, regional, and national significance. ASU's Heritage Sites include the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center, the Southern Tenant Farmers Museum, and the Lakeport Plantation. This year, free family/community lore and history recording sessions will be offered, along with "Keepers: Preserving Your Heritage" presentations. These presentations are courtesy of the Keepers Project, an Arkansas Heritage Month event sponsored by Arkansas Delta Byways, ASU Heritage Sites, and a grant from the Department of Arkansas Heritage. A Keepers Project display and recording session will be held at the Southern Tenant Farmers Museum in Tyronza. This session is part of the Tyronza Stars and Stripes Jubilee community festival on Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. For details, contact Jodi Morris at (870) 514-6773, or visit www.arstories.com for Keepers Project information.

Blue Monday features group Nothin' Fancy
The bluegrass band Nothin' Fancy will perform in concert Monday, May 14, 7 p.m., at Atkins Celebration Hall 101 South Pruett street, Paragould. The concert is part of the Bluegrass Monday concert series sponsored by KASU 91.9 FM. Bluegrass Monday concerts are normally held the fourth Monday night of the month, but due to the Memorial Day holiday, May's concert will be held on the second Monday night of the month. Admission is free, but KASU will pass the hat to collect money to pay the group. In addition to the concert, area bluegrass musicians are invited an open jam session, beginning at 5 p.m., for acoustic instruments and bluegrass music only. Bluegrass Monday is presented with support from Backbeat Music, the Posey Peddler, Main Street Paragould, and the Northeast Arkansas Bluegrass Association.
