Come join the Roamin’ Chariot chapter of FLU on our 4th annual Tour de Arkansas, October 8-9-10, 2004, The Fall Foliage Tour.  As part of the tour we will spend some time visiting and sampling at three of the area’s wineries, Post Familie Vineyards, Mt.

Lunch on Saturday will be as we come back into Altus (place to be determined) and Dinner will be at Kelts, an Irish Pub in the center of town with good food and reasonable prices and a selection of beers from the British Isles.
