My family moved to Siloam Springs when I was five , so it ’ s really the only home I ’ ve ever known . I grew up here , and graduated from Siloam Springs High School and John Brown University .

Q : What do you think makes Siloam Springs special ?
There ’ s still a small town , welcoming feel to Siloam Springs . When I have friends
Lindsey Taylor and family come visit , they feel it too , and they want to come back . From the small locally-owned businesses , to the outdoor activities we have , to our beautiful downtown , and everything in between , you just can ’ t beat this community . While we continue to see Siloam Springs grow , the charming things I love about this town are still there . You can walk through downtown and people wave when you pass . You can still go to lunch on a Sunday after church , and run into people that you know . I can ’ t think of a better community to live , work , and play !

Q : What ’ s one thing you would like people to know about Siloam Springs ?
Siloam Springs is truly a hidden gem . There is still a Mayberry or Stars Hollow feel to this community that you can ’ t find in other towns . The events
and activities that are hosted here allow individuals to get a taste of that when visiting , and it keeps them coming back . The charm of our downtown , the beauty of our outdoor activities and the quality of our retail businesses and restaurants are some of the best around ! I encourage everyone to give Siloam Springs a try … You might just be surprised at what you find !
