Did anyone play that song on the piano? I had to play it at a Piano Recital once when I was about..10yrs old. And I got up and told everyone I was playing "Arkansas Traveler" but I pronounced it Ar-Kansas, like the state.. Kansas. stupid grown ups not telling me how to say it.
Anyhoo, since Nici and Brian are moving there I thought I would google the town on Bentonville and see what it has to offer for the Spanglers.
1. In 2005, the population of the city was 29,538, ranking it as the state's 13th largest city, behind Texarkana
2. Jim Walton, the world's 23rd richest man, lives in Bentonville
3. Karri Turner, actress on the adventure/drama television show JAG, grew up in Bentonville
4. They have a nice Farmer's Market in downtown
5. You can go to the famous Walton 5 and dime Museum to see how Walmart started as a little Mom and Pop store and grew to its size now
6. Bentonville square has some of the best shopping in the area
7. Chicken is the main thing to eat: try Slim Chickens.
8. Go to the Crystal Bridges Museum

Fabulous, Jill! Nici, we'll have to check out the Farmer's Market when we come visit, and could we possibly visit Texarkana when we're there???
Oh, one other feature..my neighbor Pam's in-laws live there. You could know somebody!
