Get to know fellow PSNWA members while we participate in the annual Worldwide Photowalk! A tradition for PSNWA we will photograph beautiful historic downtown Eureka Springs, AR as part of this World Wide event to document life and locations during a 24 hour period around the globe. We will begin in Basin Park at 9:00 a.m., walk among the unique buildings and culture of the town, even photographing some of the iconic springs, before returning to the park. After the walk join us for lunch at the Balcony Bar & Restaurant overlooking Basin Park. Fall is a great time to walk Eureka Springs, and street photography never disappoints. This is a fun casual event, a chance to get to meet other photographers, and a chance to capture some of the interesting sites around Eureka Springs as part of this Worldwide Photowalk!

It is time to take down the PSNWA booth, and that requires some help. Volunteers are very welcome. We will meet at the PSNWA booth in the Benton County Fair Exhibit hall to take down the display on Sunday, Aug 12 at 2:00 pm.
