"Fall" 2016 Retreat

It looks like our "Fall" 2016 Retreat will become a "Winter" 2016 Retreat.  We were unable to secure space at the Embassy Suites, so, instead have been looking at Eureka Springs.  Right now, we are looking at December 2-4.  Once we finalize everything, we will provide details for location, pricing, etc.  We hope to have details available in early August.  Stay tuned....

Hobby House



The Hobby House is located just one block off the Bentonville Square, we have 10 twin beds and, more importantly, ten 6’ tables with office chairs on wheels! That’s right – no sharing required!

Everything you need to enjoy a hobby-filled week-end! Bedding, towels, kitchen for cooking (or just re-heating!), internet, and a well-stocked crafting supply area (all the items we take to our weekend retreat will be here). You just have to bring your comfy clothes, those fuzzy slippers, and your personal crafting supplies.

The Hobby House can be all yours from 9:00 a.m. on Friday to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday – come and go as you like. Take a short walk to the Square to enjoy the dining and shopping available – or just spend a few quiet moments contemplating your next project. There is a new Neighborhood Market across the street too. We will come by at some point over the weekend and open the Boxcar Store (for crafting supplies). It is located within the Hobby House.

Weekend rental fee is $510.00 (up to 6 people) – Each additional person (up to a maximum of 10) is $85.00 per person. All prices will have 13.5% tax added to them. You can add Thursday and/or Monday for only $28 per person, per day. It is only $50 to hold your weekend.
