Blossoms and Bows for Mother's Day
Children will have the opportunity to plant and decorate something special for mom this Mother's Day at the seventh annual Blossoms and Bows on Saturday, May 10, at the Bella Vista Public Library, 11 Dickens Place.
The free event, which will be from 10 a.m. to noon, is sponsored by the Bella Vista Village Property Owners Association, Nature's Calling and the library.
Those on hand will be able to decorate a flower pot and make Mother's Day cards inside the library. Children will then plant blooming flowers in that pot to take home to their mothers. In addition, children can make a craft.
The event is open to children of all ages and will take place rain or shine.
