“The Ozark Folk Center has a long history of working with the Forest Service here in Mountain View since we both opened in 1973,” said John Morrow, Superintendent of the Ozark Folk Center State Park, “In fact, cross-promotional efforts like these have been a staple of the Mountain View area since the early days of the Arkansas Folk Festival and they’re still just as relevant today.”
“The idea behind this latest offer is simple,” added Keith Symanowitz who works in Programming at the Ozark Folk Center. “We want to make sure everyone who comes to the Ozark Folk Center State Park is encouraged to visit the world-class caverns in the Ozark National Forest, and also tell everyone who tours Blanchard Springs Caverns about the roots music and Heritage crafts that happen here in Mountain View.” Symanowitz went on to conclude, “Anyone whose visited either park knows just how special they truly are, and we want to make sure folks get the opportunity to experience both.”
The artisan Craft Village at the Ozark Folk Center State Park is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10-5pm. Their 1,000-seat auditorium hosts roots music shows every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7-9pm throughout the season.
