Hot Springs, AR–The annual West Side Hardwood Club Christmas luncheon was held here recently at the charming Hot Springs Country Club.  

The yearly event drew roughly 15 members and their spouses who participated in a gift swap, happy hour, and lovely buffet lunch.  

Attendance was down slightly again this year as to be expected, but overall the consensus was that 2021 was a good year for Hardwood manufacturing club members, conveying an optimistic outlook for the new year.  The association wished our readers a very Merry Christmas and good fortune to all in 2022!
