Tales From The Tarmac: December 2025

We had our first Snow of the season, it lasted 5 beautiful minutes!

Snowy dirt road with green pine trees and leafless deciduous trees.

Every December, our local EAA Chapter 1458 had its annual Christmas party. All HMA friends and families are invited. Rather than the standard “Ugly Sweater Party”, we went with a “Pinecones and Plaid” decorating theme.  Our newest EAA member Sam, created wood bases for our table centerpieces, thanks Sam.

We also decided that instead of the standard gift exchange, we would hold our first charity auction to benefit the no-kill “Almost Home Animal Rescue”.  We have many very talented folks here, around 50% of the items up for auction were hand made. It was a huge success and lots of fun for all that attending the Christmas party.

The “Almost Home Animal Rescue” thanked us for raising over $1500 at our event. They posted a thank you on Facebook. NOTE: Donations can be made directly from their Facebook Account.  There is a huge need for donations at all animal rescues here in AR.

We also enjoyed a viewing of Dwight & Kathy’s Christmas themed train. The kids especially loved this!
