Show to feature Spa City sites

HOT SPRINGS -- Downtown Hot Springs and Lake Ouachita State Park will be featured on an episode of the nationally syndicated Travels With Darley television program.

The program will air on AETN in March.

A spokesman for Visit Hot Springs said the host of the show, Darley Newman, was given a tour of Hot Springs last summer by Jimmy Sample, visitor services director for Visit Hot Springs, and visited the Ohio Club and Lake Ouachita State Park.

The Visit Hot Springs spokesman said Travels With Darley will air at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, but the air date for the Hot Springs segment has not been released yet.

"I think anytime a television program that is broadcast nationally features anything in our city, it is a plus and helps to spread the word," said Steve Arrison, chief executive officer of the Visit Hot Springs tourism agency.

In the series, Newman, an Emmy-nominated TV host, travels with residents and guides to "inspiring, adventurous and quirky locations as they reveal the authenticity and appeal of their home area with all the sights, sounds, tastes, aromas, and adventures that can only be experienced when you travel like a local, not a tourist," a news release says.
