>> WHETHER YOU CALL IT PAINTING ON LOCATION, OPEN-AIR PAINTING OR CLEAN-AIR PAINTING, THE FRENCH TERM, IT'S PAINTING OUT IN NATURE.

THE WAY THE OLD MASTERS DID IT.

AND WHAT BETTER PLACE TO PAINT THAN IN EUREKA SPRINGS WHERE THERE'S A MASTERPIECE ON CANVAS JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK.

>> BEEN LONG OVERDUE -- A PLAIN AIR FESTIVAL IN EUREKA SPRINGS, CONSIDERING THE LAST ONE HELD HERE WAS SOME TIME DURING THE 1800'S.

>> [MUSIC].

>> ART IS A HUGE PART OF [INDECIPHERABLE].

SO WE DO WORKSHOPS.

AND SO, WHEN THIS GROUP OF PAINTERS IN TOWN CAME AND SAYS, "WE WANT A FESTIVAL," I DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THAT MEANT.

AND SO, I STARTED RESEARCHING ALL THESE PLACES ALL THE WAY FROM MAINE TO COLORADO TO CALIFORNIA AND IT WAS HUGE.

OH, YOU HAVE TO DO AN OPEN-AIR FESTIVAL.

SO I TOLD THIS GROUP -- THEY'RE CALLED THE GREEN AIR PAINTERS OF EUREKA SPRINGS THAT I WOULD HELP ORGANIZE IT AND GET IT MOVING.

SO ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE STARTED THE PROCESS.

AND I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST TAKEN OFF IN THIS TOWN.

IT'S PROBABLY BEEN FOR ME FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE BEST PR WE'VE EVER HAD.

BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS JUST FIRED UP ABOUT IT.

WE'RE BRINGING ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

THE PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL.

SO IT IS AN ARTIST'S HAVEN HERE.

>> [MUSIC].

>> THERE'S SO MANY SCENIC LOCALES JUST EVERYWHERE YOU STEP THERE'S A PAINTING THERE, YOU KNOW?

SOMETHING YOU'D WANT TO CAPTURE.

AND CLEAN AIR PAINTING, IT GIVES YOU SUCH A VITALITY AND A FRESHNESS TO YOUR ART THAT YOU CAN'T CAPTURE WORKING INSIDE A STUDIO.

WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE TO NATURE AND YOU KNOW WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

>> [MUSIC].

>> WE ARE IN A CAN YOU FEEL LOCATION HERE IN ARKANSAS HISTORIC... HOTEL.

NEAR THE DOWNTOWN AREA VERY CHARMING AND PAINTABLE CITY OF EUREKA SPRINGS.

WE HAVE A DIVERSITY OF LANDSCAPE HERE.

WE HAVE MOUNTAINS.

WE'VE GOT RIVERS.

WE'VE GOT SPRINGS, LAKES, FLORA, FAUNA.

IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.

BEAUTIFUL HERE IN ARKANSAS.

>> TELL ME ABOUT THIS TYPE OF OUTDOOR PAINTING.

I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT ARTISTS HAVE DONE WAY, WAY, WAY BACK.

YOU KNOW, YOU THINK ABOUT FRANCE.

PEOPLE OUT IN THE OPEN, ON EASELS PAINTING.

>> YES.

WELL, PARTICULARLY WITH THE ADVENT OF THE TWO PAINTS, WHICH WAS BY THE WAY AN AMERICAN WHO INVENTED TWO PAINT.

WE THINK ABOUT MONET NN, VAN GOGH, PEOPLE THAT WERE PAINTING OUTDOORS.

AND CLEAN AIR, WE SOMETIMES CALL IT HERE IN ARKANSAS PLAIN AIR, BUT IT'S PLEN AIR .

OPEN AIR.

SO YOU'RE RESPONDING TO NATURE IMMEDIATELY.

SO THERE'S IMMEDIACY TO THE PAINTING.

AND IT MAKES THAT MUCH MORE LIVELY AND CHARMING THAN SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET IN STUDIO WORK.

>> [MUSIC].

>> YOU DO THIS TYPE OF PAINTING OUT OPEN OFTEN?

>> YES, QUITE A BIT.

AND I ALSO TRAVEL LIKE I DO DOWN HERE TO OTHER STATE AND IS OTHER CITIES TO PAINT.

AND IT'S MY FAVORITE WAY OF PAINTING.

SO I DO IT AS OFTEN AS I CAN.

>> THE OLD-SCHOOL WAY YOU MIGHT SAY.

>> YEAH, TRUE.

YEAH.

TRULY THAT'S WHERE YOU CAPTURE THE WIDE AND REALLY -- YOU SEE SO MUCH BETTER OUT HERE THAN YOU WOULD SEE IN THE STUDIO.

I USED TO PAINT A LOT IN THE STUDIO FROM PHOTOGRAPHS.

NOW I JUST DON'T LIKE DOING IT [CHUCKLING].

IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME.

>> BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

YOU'RE DOING WHAT YOU LOVE, AND YOU'RE OUT HERE IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS IN NATURE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WONDERFUL THING.

LIKE ONE GUY SAW AN INTERVIEW ONCE -- THIS IS MY OFFICE.

>> EXACTLY.

>> [MUSIC].

>> I BELONG TO A GROUP CALLED PATHOS.

AND IT'S PLAIN AREA PAINTERS OF OSACKER SACKER.

AND WE PAINT EVERY WEDNESDAY MORNING FROM APRIL THROUGH NOVEMBER.

AND THERE'S USUALLY ABOUT 15... OF US THAT SHOW UP.

AND WE PAINT ALL OVER THE NORTHWEST.

WE COME TO EUREKA ON... AND WE GO AS FAR AS SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

SO WE COVER... A LARGE TERRITORY.

AND THEY'RE GROUPS FROM ALL OVER.

SO IT'S REAL FUN.

AND THEN THIS BEING RIGHT HERE IN EUREKA WAS [INDECIPHERABLE].

THERE'S PROBABLY 12 TO 15 OF US FROM OUR GROUP HERE.

BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, WHICH IS NICE.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE -- PRETTY EXCITING TO BE A PART OF THAT.

>> [MUSIC].

>> I THINK WHEN YOU PAINT OUTSIDE, YOU HAVE TO LOOK CAREFULLY AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT PAINTING, YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING CAREFULLY AT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

>> THIS JUST MAKES YOU MORE AWARE OF THE WORLD, YOU KNOW?

SO ONCE I STARTED PAINTING, YOU KNOW, I JUST GOT A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THINGS.

YEAH.

>> TELL ME ABOUT THIS WHOLE SET-UP HERE.

I LIKE IT.

>> GOOD.

I LIKE IT TOO.

MY BROTHER -- HE'S QUITE A CLEVER DEVIL.

>> [LAUGHING].

>> AND HE MADE THIS BOX FOR ME.

>> OH WOW.

>> EXPT AND THE THING I LIKE ABOUT IT, IF YOU'RE RIGHT HANDED, THE PAINT IS RIGHT HERE AND THE WATER IS RIGHT HERE.

SO YOU JUST GO -- YOU KNOW, THIS IS A LITTLE NICER.

>> YEAH, IT IS.

YOU NEED TO MARKET THIS.

>> YEAH, RIGHT.

YEAH.

>> [MUSIC].

>> SO TAKE IT OUTSIDE AND BRING OUT THE ARTIST IN YOU.

PLAIN AIR.

>> [MUSIC].

>> BEAR CREEK LAKE IS ONE OF THOSE LAKES WHERE YOU CAN JUST KICK BACK, RELAX, AND INDULGE IN SOME GOOD OLD-FASHIONED PLAIN OLD FISHING.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IS JUST ONE THING.

I FORGOT MY STRAW HAT DANG IT.

.

>> PICTURESQUE BEAR CREEK LAKE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE NORTH END OF THE STA.

FRANCIS NATIONAL FOREST SOUTHEAST OF MARIANA AND NORTH OF EL NAH ... .

>> [MUSIC].

>> HERE YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE A BOAT, BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF GREAT FISHING FROM THE BANK.

>> [MUSIC].

>> KAREN, SO IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

>> YES.

>> AND YOU WANTED TO GO FISHING.

>> I SURE DO.

>> WELL, YOU'RE A GIRL AFTER MY OWN HEART.

>> YES.

>> YOU HAD SOME GOOD LUCK TODAY?

>> YES, CAUGHT A FEW.

>> I GUESS HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN FISHING?

>> ALMOST ALL MY LIFE.

>> REALLY?

>> MM-HMM.

>> WHAT ABOUT THIS LAKE?

IS THIS THE LAKE YOU MOSTLY GO TO AND FISH?

>> YEAH.

I GO THIS LAKE AND JONES BORROW NN ARKANSAS.

THEY GOT A NICE... .

>> YEAH, WE SAW SOME THERE THAT YOU CAUGHT.

NOT BAD FOR THE PAN.

>> OH YEAH -- [LAUGHING] -- THAT'S RIGHT.

>> KAIRCH EVEN BAKED HER OWN HOOK, WHICH IS ANOTHER FLUS MY FISHING BOOK .

>> KAREN WAS ALSO GETTING HER FRIEND ASIA HOOKED ON FISHING.

>> IT'S BEEN GOOD.

REAL NICE.

I'VE BEEN HERE WITH MY BEST FRIEND CELEBRATING HER EARLY BIRTHDAY.

>> DO YOU DO A LOT OF FISHING YOURSELF?

>> NO.

[INDECIPHERABLE].

>> OH, ONLY YOUR SECOND TIME.

>> NO, NOT OH, OKAY COOL.

>> MAYBE WHILE YOU'RE SHOOTING.

>> I BELIEVE I WILL.

>> AND SURE ENOUGH SHE DID.

>> PUT THEM IN.

>> YEAH.

>> BLUE HILLS, SUN FISH, ALL ARE IN ABUNDANCE AT BEAR CREEK LAKE ALONG WITH CHANNEL BLACK FISH.

>> GO OVER HERE.

MARIANA, ME AND MY AUNT USED TO COME HERE.

[INDECIPHERABLE] POINT RIGHT ON THIS PEAK.

GOOD FISH.

GOOD FISH.

CATFISH.

WE ATE IT ALL.

>> WOW.

>> YES, SIR.

>> MAYBE IF YOU GO BACK THERE NOW.

TRY YOUR LUCK AGAIN.

>> OH YEAH.

OH YEAH.

WE PLAN ONGOING BACK.

LIKE I SAID, I'M GOING FOR BIRTHDAY OR SO.

WE'LL CATCH ENOUGH HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK THERE TRY IT OUT.

I GUARANTEE YOU THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME GOOD FISHING.

>> OH YEAH.

>> WELL, [INDECIPHERABLE] I LOVE YOUR FISHING POLE.

>> OH ABOUT, THANKS.

>> PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

>> YES.

>> KIND OF A MORE MODERN VERSION FROM BEING TRADITIONAL.

>> RIGHT.

RIGHT.

BECAUSE THIS IS GLASS.

YOU KNOW, YOU COME DOWN -- I THINK ME AND MY [INDECIPHERABLE] JUST IN CASE I WANT TO GO FISHING.

AND IT'S SO EASY TO RIG UP.

ALL YOUR... HOOK, BAIT ON PUT IT IN THE WATER AND HOPE SOME TIME TODAY THEY'LL BITE.

>> THERE YOU GO.

THAT'S MY KIND OF FISHING.

>> YEAH.

AND I LIKE -- PAINFUL BUT PUT IT ON THE [INDECIPHERABLE] MY CAR.

SO I CAN FISH WHEN I WANT.

>> YEAH.

SO YOU'VE COME TO THIS LAKE PRETTY OFTEN?

>> YES.

I GREW UP AROUND HERE.

AND THERE'S A CHANCE I GO TO BEAR CREEK.

[INDECIPHERABLE].

>> THERE YOU GO.

JUST BEING OUT, THIS IS A PRETTY LAKE.

>> IT IS.

AND TODAY IS A GORGEOUS DAY.

>> YEAH.

>> LOVE BEAR CREEK.

AND [INDECIPHERABLE].

>> YEAH.

YOU'VE GOT IT BIEW LA .

OH YEAH THERE YOU GO -- SEE?

LOOK AT THAT.

LOOK AT THAT.

WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

>> OH.

>> LOOKS LIKE SOME SUN FISH.

>> YEAH.

WE GOING BACK FOR A BETTER DAY.

>> YEAH.

YEAH.

>> YEAH.

BUT IT'S FUN.

>> AND THAT IT IS.

>> LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT.

>> IT WAS APRIL 27, 1865 ABOUT SEVEN MILES NORTH OF MEMPHIS AND EAST OF MARY AND ARKANSAS WHEN THE MISSISSIPPI STEAM BOAT HANNAH EXPLODED KILLING MORE THAN 1800 PASSENGERS .

THAT'S MORE THAN THE TITANIC.

IT REMAINS AS THE WORST MARITIME DISASTER IN U.S. HISTORY.

>> MOST OF THE PASSENGERS WHO PERISHED WERE THREE UNION PRISONERS OF WAR WHO WERE HEADED BACK TO THEIR HOMES IN THE NORTH.

THE SUL TA NAH DISASTER HAS BEEN CALLED THE FORGOTTEN TRAGEDY.

AND IN MARION YOU CAN VISIT THE SUL TA NAH DISASTER MUSEUM.

BUT JUST HOW BIG A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS END UPPING WITH FORGOTTEN?

.

>> .

>> [JUST HOW DID].

>> IT WAS KILLING OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

AFTER ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS ASSASSINATED, IT WAS THE SEARCH FOR JOHN -- YOU KNOW, FOR BOOTH.

PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR HIM.

AND HE HAD FINALLY BEEN [INDECIPHERABLE].

ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE DEATH [INDECIPHERABLE] WAS TAKING LINCOLN'S BODY HOME TO ILLINOIS WAS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME.

PROBABLY ANOTHER THING IS, PEOPLE WERE TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY GOING ON.

PLUS, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER WE LIVE IN A DAY OF INSTANT COMMUNICATION.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE FOX NEWS OR CNN AT THAT POINT.

SO WORD DIDN'T GET OUT.

THE FIRST NEWS ACCOUNT WAS ALMOST 48 HOURS LATER THAT IT HAD EVEN HAPPENED.

AND THAT WAS IN THE HARPER'S WEEK.

SO THERE WAS A LOT THAT WENT ON.

>> A CRITICAL OVERLOAD OF PASSENGERS AND CARGO THAT WAS UNLOADED IN MEMPHIS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISASTER.

>> THE STORY OF THE SINKING OF THE SUL TA NAH ACTUALLY BEGINS IN NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA.

IT WAS IN NEW ORLEANS THAT THEY DID THE...

BUT THEY ALSO LOADED 200 HOG HEADS OF SUGAR.

HUGE BARREL.

AND THOSE HOG HEADS OF SUGAR WEIGHED BETWEEN 200 AND 240 POUNDS FROM NEW ORLEANS THE BOAT SAILED ON UP... MISSISSIPPI.

THERE THEY LOADED APPROXIMATELY 2400 PAROLED UNION SOLDIERS ON THAT BOAT.

THAT FIGURE IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THE BOAT WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO CARRY 376.

SO TO SAY THE BOAT WAS OVERLOADED IS GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT.

THE BOAT THEN PRECEDED FROM VIXBURG HELENA WAS THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE PHOTOGRAPH EVERYBODY SEE OF THE SUL TA NAH .

IT THEN...

CAME TO MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE WHERE IT LEFT OFF 33 PASSENGERS.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS, THEY UNLOADED THE HOG HEADS.

THE BOAT THEN SAILED FROM THERE TO HOPEVILLE ARKANSAS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE RIVER.

GET A LOAD OF COAL.

AND FROM THERE, THE BOAT DIDN'T GO TEN MILES BEFORE THE [INDECIPHERABLE].

ONCE THE SUGAR WAS TAKEN OFF THAT BOAT, THE PITCH AND THE YAW OF THE BOAT BECAUSE SO OUT OF BALANCE, CAUSED THE WATER IN THE BOWERS TO LEAVE THE BOWERS CLOSE TO HEAT BUT WITH NO WATER .

SO WHEN THE WATER CLOSED BACK UP OVER THAT AREA, IT HYPERFILLS.

AND... NOT ONE [INDECIPHERABLE]... .

>> MANY OF THOSE HOMEWARD BOUND UNION SOLDIERS WERE OF COURSE KILLED INSTANTLY.

OTHERS DROWNED IN THE MISSISSIPPI OR DIED LATER AS A RESULT OF THEIR BURNS.

REMEMBER, THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAD SEEN WAR AT ITS WORST.

THEY HAD BEEN CAPTURED AND SEEN PRISON CAMPS AT THEIR WORST.

AND THEY HAD THEIR HOPES BUILT UP.

THEY WERE HEADED HOME.

[INDECIPHERABLE].

>> ON THIS PLAIN YOU GET A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN JUST A TINY BAG OF MINI PRETZELS.

YOU GET A FULL MEAL THE WAY IT USED TO BE AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE A BOARDING PASS.

>> [MUSIC].

>> YES.

ON THIS SOUTHWEST AIRLINES BOEING... YOU GET THE FULL BLOWN SERVICE OF YESTERYEAR'S TRAVEL BUT MINUS THOSE ICONIC STEWARD DESESES AS THEY WERE CALLED.

SORRY FOOD WINS OVER FASHION IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

>> YOU NEED MORE WATER OR ANYTHING?

ALL RIGHT.

>> PARACHUTE IN BEGAN AS A REGULAR RESTAURANT IN 1967 AT THE WALNUT RIDGE REGIONAL AIRPORT.

BUT THEN IN 2005 WHEN THE SERVING OF MEALS EXPANDED TO A PERMANENTLY GROUNDED AIRLINER, WELL, THINGS GOT A LITTLE WACKY AS WAS DESCRIBED IN SEVERAL FOOD ARTICLES.

>> THEY SAID IT WAS LACKING, BECAUSE THE [INDECIPHERABLE] ON THE AIRPLANE HAD DINNER AND THE KIDS WERE IN THE COCKPIT SCREAMING YELLING, "WE'RE GOING TO CRASH.

WE'RE GOING TO CRASH BHFNL THEY'RE TAKING THEM TO HAWAII.

IT'S JUST A LOT OF FUN.

PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THEMSELVES.

>> SO HOW DID YOU ACQUIRE THIS BOEING 737 HERE?

>> ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T.

PREVIOUS OWNER DONNA ROBERTS, THERE USED TO BE A SIMPLE AIRPLANE OVER HERE.

AND SHE TOLD SOMEONE, "I WANT AN AIRPLANE."

SO THEY BROUGHT HER ONE OVER.

AND SHE HAD A CARPENTER COME IN.

CHANGE THE SEATS AROUND TO WHERE EVERYBODY CAN SIT AT TABLES.

AND SHE WENT WITH IT FROM THERE.

AND IT WAS JUST A BIG HIT.

>> [MUSIC].

>> WELL, THIS IS FIRST TIME BEING HERE.

MOM'S HERE VISITING FROM MISSOURI.

I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BECAUSE BACK HOME WE'VE GOT THE TRAIN CABOOSE, AND WE THOUGHT -- FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME WE HAD A PLANE WE COULD EAT ON.

PLANE, TRAIN -- [LAUGHING].

>> AND THIS DESIGNER ONLY YOUR SECOND TIME BEEN IN AN AIRPLANE.

>> YES.

FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY FLEW TO CAN KIEWN.

THAT WAS BACK IN 2002 .

>> WELL, IN A FEW MINUTES WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING OFF TO JAMAICA.

>> OKAY.

[LAUGHING].

>> WELL, I'VE ONLY BEEN ON A PLANE ONE TIME.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME.

IT'S VERY NICE.

I LIKE IT A LOT.

IT'S COOL.

REAL LIFE LIKE.

>> SO WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE OFF TO?

>> I'D LIKE TO GO TO CALIFORNIA TO VISIT MY TEAMMATES, SHOUTOUT TO MY TEAMMATES.

THEY'RE FROM CALIFORNIA.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

[CHUCKLING].

>> OR WE COULD FLY TO NASHVILLE.

FLY TO LOUISIANA.

THAT WOULD BE COOL.

>> HOW DID YOU LIKE THE FOOD?

>> IT'S SO GOOD.

THE MASHED POTATOES ARE ON POINT.

>> ON POINT.

>> THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD.

AND THE ROLLS.

>> [MUSIC].

>> THE ATTRACTION HERE IS NOT JUST TO EAT ON A PLANE WU FOR THE TASTY FOOD ITSELF .

>> YES, SIR.

WE'RE KNOWN FOR OUR CATFISH, CAJUN CATFISH, REGULAR CATFISH, HOMEMADE BEANS, BAKED POTATOES... JUST A GREAT CATFISH AND SEAFOOD BUFFET ON THE WEEKEND.

>> THOSE PORK CHOPS TODAY WERE A BIG HIT.

>> YES.

PORK CHOPS AND FRIED CHICKEN.

AND BEANS -- JUST ALL GOOD HOME COOKING.

DOWN HOME COOKING.

THAT'S USUALLY FOOD [INDECIPHERABLE].

>> [MUSIC].

>> THIS IS MY FIRST TIME EATING HERE.

AND I'VE NEVER BEEN ON A PLANE.

[INDECIPHERABLE].

>> IT'S REAL.

>> AND SO, THIS IS COOL.

SO THIS IS LIKE AN EXPERIENCE THAT I DON'T GET ON A PLANE.

SO THIS IS REALLY NEAT.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FOOD?

>> THE FOOD'S VERY GOOD.

KIND OF LIKE A HOME COOKED MEAL.

BUT REALLY TASTY.

>> [MUSIC].

>> WE CAME WITH OUR CHURCH GROUP.

AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RESTAURANT HERE IN THE AIRPLANE AND THE MUSEUM ACROSS THE STREET AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD OUTING FOR US.

>> SO WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT DINING ON AN AIRPLANE AND NOT LEAVING THE GROUND?

>> ...

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN VERY MANY PLANES ANYWAY.

BUT I REMEMBER CERTAINLY NEVER BEEN IN ONE LIKE THIS.

>> NEVER EATEN.

>> NO, THAT'S TRUE.

ATE IN THE AIR, BUT NOT ON THE GROUND.

>> WELL, I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT TAKING YOU TO SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT.

>> THAT'D BE REALLY NICE.

>> [MUSIC].

>> THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HERE.

I HEARD ABOUT HERSHEY RESTAURANT A LONG TIME AGO, NEVER MADE IT TO BOULDER.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

FOOD IS VERY GOOD.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYWHERE ELSE WHERE YOU COULD HAVE A EXPERIENCE LIECTDZ....... .

>> AND OF COURSE THE FOOD IS BETTER TOO.

>> THE FOOD IS WAY BETTER -- YES.

YES.

OUR CHURCH GROUP, WE MAKE OUTINGS ONCE A MONTH OR SO.

AND WE JUST DECIDED TO COME OVER HERE, TAKE IN A EXPERIENCE CLOSE TO HOME.

BUT NONE OF US EVER BEEN HERE.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS -- THINGS AROUND YOU.

BUT WE TRY... TO CHANGE THAT TODAY.

DECIDED TO COME OVER HERE AND EAT WITH THESE FOLKS.

IT'S BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

>> [MUSIC].
