Select the country and object's type Celebrating 50 Years of Greers Ferry Dam

SAVE THE DATE - May 21, 2013

You are cordially invited to join us in celebrating the birthday of an Arkansas treasure. Come learn more about the history of Greers Ferry Dam and discover the possibilities on Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Red River.

We’re working with qualified journalists to bring attention to this jewel in the Arkansas Ozarks. We’ll gather Tuesday morning, May 21 to experience area outdoor adventures. You can choose between fishing on the lake, trout fishing the river, or taking a guided hike. Then the group will gather for a unique opportunity to tour the inside of Greers Ferry Dam. You can also stop in for a tour of the Greers Ferry Dam Visitor Center.

Come noontime, we’ll break for lunch hosted by area leaders. You’ll have a chance to speak with Carl Garner, chief engineer for the dam project, and Cecil Alexander, a state legislator at the time of the dam construction. Other area representatives will be available as well to discuss all there is to do in the region.

In the afternoon, you’ll have another opportunity to fish or take a boat tour to complete your research and get plenty of photos or footage.

We can help set up accommodation space for you and/or your crew to come visit the Greers Ferry. Please return this questionnaire ASAP to Kat Robinson (kat.robinson@arkansas.gov) to ensure your spot for this event. Responses are due no later than Friday, May 10.
