The weather isn’t looking too promising for this year’s Ponca Color Fest, but I’m still planning to go. If the bridges are flooded and I can’t get out, then I guess my plans will change. I’ll let you know if that happens.
Location & Time
At the Ponca Elk Education Center, from 10-4:30 Saturday (and possibly Sunday). There will be other vendors on Friday as well, but I won’t be there on that day.

Madison Woods is a self-taught artist who moved to the Ozarks from south Louisiana in 2005. In 2018 she began experimenting with watercolor painting, using her local pigments. She calls them Paleo Paints. In 2023 she began her journey into the world of oil painting with those same pigments. Her paintings of the Ozark-inspired scenes feature exclusively the lightfast pigments foraged from Madison county, Arkansas. Her inspiration is nature – the beauty, and the inherent cycle of life and death, destruction and regeneration. Wild Ozark is also the only licensed ginseng nursery in Arkansas. Here’s the link for more information on the nursery end of life out here.
