Centennial celebration planned for July 4

The Centennial Celebration for Hot Springs State Park's Swinging Bridge and Buffalo will be July 4. It was rescheduled from its original June date to July 4 because Hot Springs State Park will already be full of people for the July 4 celebration, according to Hot Springs State Park Superintendent Kevin Skates.

The celebration is slated to happen before the Fourth of July fireworks at the Hot Springs State Park. The swinging bridge will be lighted and there will be music and historical information shared about both the swinging bridge and the buffalo in Hot Springs State Park.

The Centennial Celebration has been a project of Hot Springs State Park, the Pioneer Association, the Kiwanis Club and the Hot Springs County Historical Society.
