                        EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I recognize the city of 
Eureka Springs in my home State of Arkansas as local residents 
celebrate two major awards for their community.
  The American Planning Association recently designated Spring Street 
in Eureka Springs as one of the 10 Great Streets for 2010 under the 
organization's Great Places in America program. According to the 
association, Spring Street exemplifies ``exceptional character in a 
community of lasting value.'' The street was singled out for its 
originality and unique characteristics.

  Eureka Springs was also recognized nationally as a 2010 Top 25 Arts 
Destination by American Style Magazine. This is the sixth year the 
community has received this honor, which recognizes public support for 
artists, arts institutions, galleries and festivals, and the 
contribution of the arts to the local community.
  I salute the residents of Eureka Springs for their efforts to 
maintain the heritage, culture, and history of their community. I have 
been proud to visit Eureka Springs and Spring Street, and I join all my 
fellow Arkansans to express our pride in this jewel of our 
State.
