Bank Robbery in Pottsville, Arkansas!

Legend has it that back in December of 1926, a bank robbery in Pottsville, Arkansas, was pulled off by none other than Santa Claus himself!

And today, we got to see a reenactment of that robbery at the Falls Fest Car Show in Pottsville.

Things must have been pretty tough back in the 1920s if even Santa Claus had to resort to robbing a bank!

Now, I wasn't sure if the story was actually true, so I did a little Googling. Sure enough, I found several old news articles about it. Apparently, there really was a bank robbery involving someone dressed as Santa Claus. Who knew?

But Santa wasn't the only attraction today! There were also plenty of cool cars and trucks at the show, with somewhere around 80 vehicles registered.

This was my second time attending the Falls Fest Car Show, and it seems to have grown a bit since my first visit a couple of years ago.

The show is hosted by two car clubs, the Tri-County Cruisers and the Valley Antique Car Club. Proceeds from the event go toward restoring the historic Falls and Sinclair Mercantile building into a community center.

But as you probably know by now, one of my favorite parts of attending these shows is getting to spend time with like-minded people. Visiting with good friends, meeting a few new folks, and just enjoying the cars and conversations. That's what makes these Saturdays special!

And the next best part of the day? The drive!

Instead of taking the interstate, I enjoy cruising the old highway from Conway to Pottsville. Sure, it takes a little longer, but there's just something about driving through those small Arkansas towns and enjoying the scenery that makes the day even better.

A little history, some great cars, good friends, and a relaxing drive through the Arkansas countryside. I'd say that's a pretty good way to spend a Saturday!
