Eureka Springs will have a fireworks show on the Fourth of July.
On Tuesday, May 18, the Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission agreed to allocate $7,500 for the fireworks show. Chairman Kevin Ruehle said he spoke with a fireworks company and learned there are two available packages: one for $10,000 and one for $15,000. The $10,000 package, Ruehle said, is equivalent to the package the commission purchased in 2019 for $8,000.
They are now more expensive, Ruehle said.
Ruehle said he spoke at the City Advertising and Promotion Commissions last workshop, where everyone agreed it would be best to have the show on Sunday, July 4. The other available date, Ruehle said, is Friday, July 2.

The Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission is taking the first step toward repairing the foundation at Basin Spring Park.
On Tuesday, April 20, the commission heard from interim director Scott Miskiel about a proposal for geotechnical services in the park. Miskiel said the wall underneath the fountain is sinking and while the commission has received a grant to complete the stone work, theres an underlying problem causing the deterioration.
Theres some collapse of the tunnels underneath there, so we need to do some engineering to do a proper foundation for the stone work and one of the things the engineer needs before he can do his job would be to do some core samples, Miskiel said.
