Waterfalls In Arkansas USA 💦Cedar Falls is a 100 feet (31 m) waterfall located in the 3,500-acre Petit Jean State Park in Conway County Arkansas.

The falls are accessible via the Cedar Falls Trail, which is 2 miles long and not very difficult. The area has a fascinating history, and the park is chock full of facilities, activities and amenities for every kind of traveler.

National Themes For August 30: National Toasted Marshmallow Day, National Grief Awareness Day, and National College Colors Day.

🍴National Toasted Marshmallow Day! Toasted marshmallows are a special part of summer evenings around a bonfire. Add a pair of graham crackers and a cholate bar and ask for s’more! Depending upon personal preference, heat marshmallows to various degrees from gently toasted to a charred outer layer. To char the outer layer, ignite the marshmallow then quickly blow it out. Marshmallows now come in a variety of flavors as well as sizes for maximum toasting opportunities. For a fun alternative, try roasting Marshmallow Peeps. Watch them closely as the granular sugar coating will burn more quickly. ✨Believe it or not, marshmallows date back to Ancient Egypt. The mallow plant provided a sap that the Egyptians used to create a candy with nuts and honey. ✨Ligonier, Indiana holds an annual Marshmallow Festival and is the marshmallow capital of the world. ✨Homemade marshmallows use sugar, unflavored gelatin, corn syrup, and flavoring.

🌷💖When a loved one dies, the void they leave affects everyone differently. National Grief Awareness Day recognizes the time it takes to heal from loss doesn’t have a prescribed course and is a reminder closure comes in many forms. On National Grief Awareness Day take stock of those in your life who have been effected by a form of loss. The death of a loved one, close friend or enduring an extreme change in their lifestyle can trigger grief. When we lose the stability of shelter, a job or a routine we have known for years, we suffer a type of loss that requires closure. Some adjust to these changes easily, and others take time to become familiar with new routines. Offer to listen to a friend or ask them to join you for a coffee or tea. Send a message letting them know they are never far from your mind and set a date for another visit. If you find you are suffering from grief, know that it’s natural. You’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help if you feel your grief is overwhelming.

💚National College Colors Day! This day is celebrated by wearing your college team’s colors and college or university apparel. Support your team and show your team spirit by wearing your college colors to the game or while watching it on TV. Rally the fans and show your team you know they will go for the win! Tailgating and pregame revelry are all part of the enjoyment of the season. Many alumni enjoy share memories of games from years past, especially the close ones, win or lose. National College Colors Day was founded by the College Licensing Company in 2004.

I love toasted marshmallows. Their so gooy yummy! My college colors were green and white. My favorite covered bridge is the Burns Park bridge because of the rocks holding it in place. Cedar Falls, the rock formations around it makes it so interesting.

Warm hugs!🐶🐶💕🌤
