Yes, our toe-tapping bride with the wide stance is a graduate of the Larry Craig School of Dance and Social Graces (we knew you'd ask.) She's jitterbugging with joy because Fall Diversity Weekend is almost here!

November 1-4, 2007, GLBTi and PFLAG visitors of all ages will journey to our little village for a weekend of friendship and fun. This is the biggest and most beloved Diversity Weekend of the year with so many things to do and people to see (or should that be so many things to see and people to do?) Either way, there's plenty of activities to choose from. (Yes, Virginia. In this case--it's a choice.)

NEW! Surrender to your inner Diva and avoid the DUI. Affordable and elegant transportation is available from Eureka Springs Limousine. Just $15 bucks (plus tips) will get you everywhere you want to go on Friday & Saturday.

NEW TOO! You don't have to be 21 to be as Diverse as you wanna be. This year's Fall Diversity features events for all ages.
