Blood Drive on the Square

Wed. Oct. 1 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

The City of Fayetteville will host a blood drive Wednesday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Downtown Square.

The blood drive is being held in partnership with Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), which will have its “Bloodmobile” on hand to collect donations.

CBCO provides blood and plasma to all Northwest Arkansas area hospitals. Local donors are needed to continue to provide for local patients.

Little Sprouts at BGO

Wed. Oct. 1 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Little Sprouts is a weekly botanically-themed program for children aged 2 to 5. Each week we read stories, sing songs, and do fun nature crafts & activities. Whether we are learning about how bees are more helpful than harmful, or exploring the garden with handmade binoculars, the children leave the Garden with a real appreciation for the world around them and a new desire to protect it.

Not only does our program serve the little ones in attendance, but also the adults who bring them. Each week we make an effort to encourage families to take the knowledge and skills they have gained from our programs and put them to use within their own homes. This is also a great way to get to know other families in the area!

Fall Into Acroyoga; Free Community Class and Jam

Wed. Oct. 1 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Supported by the City of Fayetteville's Parks and Recreation Community Arts Programming Grant, local circus artist Dana Krementz will be offering a free, foundational, and community based acroyoga series at Gulley Park this Fall.

Acroyoga is a joyful fusion of yoga, gymnastics, and circus acrobatics. While this can sound intimidating; acroyoga is a play-based, recreational practice where people of all ages and abilities can come together to support each other in taking on new challenges! Taking place by the new pavilion at Gulley Park every Wednesday evening September 24th-October 15th, this accessible class series will focus on teaching the foundations of acroyoga by exploring stationary postures, counter balances, and short routines (or “flows”). Following each class there will be a "jam"; an unstructured but supervised and supported play time, where anyone can practice what was learned that day or try something new!

During each class, Dana will lead groups through a series of physical warm ups, creative group games, and communication exercises before facilitating participants in exploring new ways to connect to themselves and others; to creatively express themselves through yoga, dance, and partner acrobatics; and to practice open, kind, and direct communication with others.

In this class series, acroyoga won’t just be about teaching people “cool circus tricks”, it will be about increasing community member's capacity to connect and create with others in a more supported, authentic, and community based way.

Instructor Bio:

Dana Krementz (they/them) is a 33 year old queer, nonbinary person who grew up in Fayetteville Arkansas. Dana has been dancing and playing their entire life, practicing yoga for 16 years, and became a certified acroyoga instructor with Vancity Acro in 2017. Dana has extensive experience in training, facilitating, and teaching play-based recreational circus arts and excels in facilitating safe, technically sound, and fun movement practices. They have taught people of all ages, abilities, and hold a wide variety of training and certifications related to equity, access, inclusivity, conflict de-escalation, emotional support, group facilitation, education, and trauma-informed communication.

—------

Over the last ten years, Dana has taught, trained, and performed acroyoga in five countries, multiple US states and Canadian provinces, and all across Arkansas.

The Remember Balloons

Wed. Oct. 1 6:00 pm

The Remember Balloons is a heartwarming intergenerational tale that embraces the beauty of sharing memories while delicately addressing memory loss.

When the balloons begin to drift away, James is devastated until he discovers he can share those balloons himself, one by one. Director and choreographer Dominic Moore-Dunson, one of Dance Magazine’s 25 to Watch, adapts this touching story for the stage, crafting a captivating dance-theater experience accompanied by an original score and digital projections.

Singo - Musical Bingo

Thu. Oct. 2 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

It's time to enjoy your favorite music with SINGO Music Bingo at Smokin' Oak hosted by our friendly staff!
Each week we have some great music with fun prizes and delicious food!
SINGO is a free to play entertaining musical spin on the traditional Bingo. Instead of listening for a number, players are listening to their favorite music. Join us for fun, prizes and great food, and great music!
How to play:
Each player receives a free SINGO card printed with the titles of popular songs. While Singo randomly plays song clips of "the good parts", players can sing along and mark matching song titles on their cards. (singing optional - but it's tough not to!)
How to win:
The first player to mark five songs in a row and to shout "SINGO" wins the round! (we promise we won't make you sing the songs)
This casual game is fun for a small group or a crowd that loves good music!
Enjoy our fresh wood-fired pizzas, hand tossed, salads, and drinks from our 40 self-pour taps while you play... you may even win some prizes along the way!

Father John Misty

Thu. Oct. 2 8:00 pm

Father John Misty is the stage name of Josh Tillman, an American singer-songwriter known for his rich, ironic lyricism and genre-blurring sound. Before adopting the Father John Misty persona, he performed under his real name and was also the drummer for the indie folk band Fleet Foxes from 2008 to 2012.

Father John Misty’s music is a blend of:

• Indie folk
• Americana
• Baroque pop
• Classic rock
• Psychedelic and lounge influences

His arrangements often include lush strings, vintage keys, and layered harmonies. There’s a retro quality to his sound, reminiscent of 1970s singer-songwriters like Harry Nilsson or Randy Newman, but filtered through a modern, often self-aware lens.

Lyrical Themes and Tone

What truly sets Father John Misty apart is his lyrical style. His songs are:

• Witty and sardonic, often poking fun at modern life, love, and consumerism
• Philosophical, sometimes with spiritual or existential undertones
• Deeply personal, even when layered in irony or satire

He can shift from tender sincerity to caustic satire in a single song — or verse — which gives his work emotional complexity.

Father John Misty is equal parts showman, poet, and social critic. He’s known for weaving biting satire into beautiful music — a kind of modern-day troubadour who’s both in love with and skeptical of the world around him.

The Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival was created to bring together three Northwest Arkansas cross-country races under a single event. The Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival is now one of the premier running events in America.

Typical years, over 80 college teams and 120 high school teams battle for prestige and unique Chile Pepper awards. Additionally, 500 individuals participate in the open events including the Tom Lewis 1 Mile Pepper Dash on Friday night or the Godpepper 4K and 8K community races on Saturday. The event is held at University of Arkansas’ incredible cross country course.

The course is a combination of grass, cinder and uneven terrain. SEC and NCAA Championships have been settled here - and Coach Bucknam describes it as the Superbowl of Cross Country!
