supportive. It’s great to have his support and the support of the community,” he said.


With 17 years of experience, Shire knows how to attract a crowd.


Before each concert, he secures gifts from area businesses that he raffles off during the break. The items being raffled can vary from a coupon to a $40 gift certificate to Colton’s Steakhouse.


When people arrive, they are given a raffle ticket. Before the raffle, a voluntary collection is taken up and if people want to donate some money for the show, they can. There is no obligation, said Shire.


But the money helps pay for performances.


As the concert series grows, there will be more vendors selling food and drinks. It’s good for the community and the local economy because it gives businesses a


chance to participate, he said.


Mary and Bob Patrick have been regulars at the Yellville festival, so they were thrilled to have something similar in Mountain Home. They celebrated their 16th anniversary at the Memorial Day Block Party.


“Everybody loves it,” Mary said. “It’s well put together and brings the community together, and the sense of community is very important.”


The parties also attract tourists. Dolan works at Raimondo Winery in town and when some tourists were passing through, they asked her “What is there to do around here?”


“I told them about the Block Parties and they asked how much it cost and I said it was free and they were excited to attend,” she said.
