Conway's Mandatory Water Restrictions, Art Walk + Your Weekend Guide
Plus: A favorite local business finds new premises, jobs, food spotlight, upcoming events and more.
Hello Conway! 👋
We’re having one of those weeks where the practical stuff and the fun stuff are all happening at the same time.
There’s a water curtailment situation, a popular local business is moving, and the summer calendar is filling up fast with things worth getting off the couch for.
Let’s get into it ⬇
💧 Conway Corp Moves to Phase 2 Water Curtailment
If you haven’t seen the news yet, Conway Corporation has officially moved to Phase 2 of its Emergency Water Curtailment Plan.
That means mandatory water restrictions are now in effect for residents and businesses across Conway.
The root of the issue is Brewer Lake, which has been dealing with declining water levels after an unusually dry winter and spring.
Here’s what Phase 2 means for residential customers (details from the Conway Corp website):
Customers must water their lawns, gardens and shrubs on opposite days:
Even numbered side of the street may water on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
Odd numbered side of street may water on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday
No watering may be done on Wednesdays
Customers must decrease their irrigation significantly
Vehicles may be washed only at either high pressure, low water usage car washes or, if at home, using a pressure washer or a garden hose with a shut-off nozzle.
For the most current information on restrictions stay current at conwaycorp.com and keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates.

🎨 June Art Walk Brought the Vibes Downtown
In case you missed it, the June Art Walk: “Strike a Pose” took over downtown Conway last Friday June 5th.
With a mix of local artists, small businesses, and community foot traffic that makes downtown feel like the place to be.
It delivered exactly what a Friday evening should: art, energy, good people, and a solid excuse to linger.
The theme was “Strike a Pose,” which meant photography, fashion, and a little creative flair woven throughout the evening.
📸 View some photos here on Conway Art Walks Facebook Page
If you missed it, mark your calendar for the next one happening on July 3rd!

🍑 Food Spotlight: The Mighty Peach
Step aside, basic summer ice-cream flavors, there’s a fancy new scoop in town!
Moo Scoops, Conway’s local scoop shop over at 1825 E. Oak Street, Suite 105, is carrying a tasty new flavor crafted in partnership with Loblolly Creamery.
With a name that sounds like a superhero, we bring you: The Mighty Peach 🍑
The Mighty Peach is built on a brown sugar ice cream base, with Arkansas peaches, and finished with a bourbon caramel swirl.
It is rich, fruity, a little indulgent, and the flavor of an Arkansas summer done right.
Go and try a cone. You’ve earned it.
📍1825 E. Oak Street, Suite 105, Conway, AR
