Outdoor Soirée: Jonathan Parkey shares his recipe for a chic, laid-back weekend on the water

Head to South Arkansas for live music, outdoor festivals, and family fun | A Special At Home in Arkansas Promotion

There’s always something happening in El Dorado. That was true a century ago, when the town’s first oil well caused a boom in the economy and population, and it’s true now, as the South Arkansas city continues to draw interest and visitors from all over the state and beyond. For example, when Murphy Arts District (eldomad.com) opened three and a half years ago, 21,000 people descended on the city for four days of music and entertainment; that’s not bad for a city of approximately 18,000. The arts district has been go-go-go ever since, pausing in-person events during the pandemic while pivoting to provide audiences with live-streamed concerts, children’s programs, and other online entertainment.

When she and her husband, Elvis, started beekeeping a year prior, they were already using honey in their food prep and well aware of its health benefits. Elvis had watched his father keep bees when he was growing up in Romania, and some of his brothers—he is one of six boys now spread over four countries in three continents—had taken an interest, too. When one of them came to visit in 2015, he got Elvis and Katie started with their first hive. “As far as the bees go, they’re just fascinating,” Elvis says. “Watching them, learning about their behavior—they draw you in and become addictive.”
