Lyon College is excited to invite you to participate in our annual SCOT Week Community Fair presented by White River Health on Monday, August 18, from 12–2 p.m. in the Edwards Commons Student Center on our campus at 2300 Highland Rd., Batesville. If you have already reserved a table, thank you! We look forward to seeing you there and will be sending you additional information on Monday.
The Community Fair serves as a fun and engaging kickoff to the academic year and offers local businesses, service providers, churches, and community organizations the chance to connect with our students, faculty, and staff. It’s a fantastic way to introduce students to everything Batesville has to offer and build valuable relationships within our community.
You’re welcome to bring promotional materials, provide samples, or host giveaways — anything that helps highlight what makes your organization special. Tables and chairs are provided, and there is no cost to participate.
If you are unable to attend the Community Fair but would like to drop off promotional materials, coupons, or other giveaways for our students, please let us know. We will be happy to share the information.

Karin Huffman is an Independence County native who graduated from Cushman High School in 1996. Traveling throughout the state is one of her passions, along with writing about her adventures.
Taking over as travel writer for the Ozark Gateway Region is a dream come true for Huffman who lives in the region with her two daughters, Grace and Stella.
As a family, they enjoy canoeing the Poke Bayou, Salado Creek and the many waterways along the White River in Independence County. Camping and hiking throughout the region is a must for them in the spring and fall as well.
Huffman is an avid nature photographer who will do just about anything to find the perfect waterfall shot, and has visited many in the great state. From Twin Falls and the Richland Creek area in Northwest Arkansas to little known places off the beaten path, waterfalls will be found.
Huffman has been a travel writer for the Eye on Independence Magazine as well as a staff writer for the Batesville Guard, and is looking forward to devoting her time to traveling throughout the eight county region that the Ozark Gateway offers.
If you would like to contact Huffman about an adventure or would like to know how to get more information out about your area, contact her at 870-307-5473, karinhuffman78@gmail.com or karinozarkgateway@sbcglobal.net.
