News Release Date: June 26, 2017 Current and former members of the Round Spring community will join the reunion to share memories from earlier days on the Current River. Historic families from the Round Spring area include names such as Chilton, Light, Weese, Smith, Banks, Stewart, Ramsey, and others. It will be a wonderful time of sharing and an opportunity for visitors to learn what it was like to live along the Current River decades ago. The Celebration of the River Communities includes a series of events to honor the important contribution made by communities along the Jacks Fork and Current rivers. In May, celebrations were held at Akers Ferry and Mt. Zion Church. July 2nd is reserved to honor the Round Spring Community and in September we will gather at Alley Spring. Ozark National Scenic Riverways preserves the free-flowing Current and Jacks Fork Rivers, the surrounding natural resources, and the unique cultural heritage of the Ozark people.
