Hello Mountain Home!
It’s time for another edition of the Observatory, the one-stop-shop of what’s going on in Mountain Home and the surrounding areas for the next week.
We’re officially snowed in again, so be sure to stay warm and off the roads for the next few days.
You may have noticed that the Observatory is running early this week, in lieu of Friday’s typical article. That’s by design. Alison and I decided to take a three day weekend to catch up on some much needed family time since we’ve been working through every weekend for the past couple of months.
Don’t worry though, next week is going to have some big stories featuring town favorites like artist Duane Hada and The Grill at the Whispering Woods. We’re also going to be showing off what Mark Bertel and The Dels Corporation have in store for their latest project in Mountain Home.
Here’s the breakdown of events for next week.

Women who don’t exercise can lose anywhere from 3 to 8% of their muscle mass each decade due to inactivity. Studies show that strength training can promote bone development, reduce lower back pain, and reverse several skeletal muscle aging factors.
Kickboxing has become a popular sport because it provides a fantastic workout and challenges many of our senses and capacities.
If you want to feel better about your body, both in how it looks and performs, these sessions are for you!
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, class capacity is limited to 15. Masks are required, social distancing is strictly observed, and registration is required. Call (870) 508-2345 today!

Do you like to knit or crochet? How about sewing or needlework, or quilting?
Would you like to learn how?

This group offers lots of encouragement and support to one another as they spend time at their weekly meetings, and you just might learn a new stitch. Anyone with interest in any type of needlework is welcome to attend.
Threads of Hope provides different things to different people. For cancer survivors, you can learn a craft to help pass the time between or after treatments. For some, it provides a way to support others, even if you’re not a cancer survivor yourself. The group may make lap robes, prayers shawls, or caps that are distributed to those patients in treatment. For others, it provides a place to enjoy fun and companionship.
