Kid's Directory, Arkansas's Parent Resource for 35 years!

Parent Guide For Events & Festivals

Fall in Central Arkansas means festival season, and this issue is your guide to all of it. County fairs in Saline, Garland, Lonoke, and Faulkner. CabotFest, Hillcrest HarvestFest, and the Arkansas State Fair. A pumpkin patch guide covering every county we serve, plus where to go for family cycling, an airshow, art markets, and free October block parties.

We also cover two things parents ask us about most. When Learning Looks Different walks through the signs of learning disabilities and ADHD, your right to request a school evaluation, and the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan. The Conversation That Can Save a Life covers suicide prevention warning signs and how to open that conversation with your child.

And Family Favorites nominations are open through October 1. Tell us the places your family trusts.
