Clarksville Eagle Days: Rounding out the weekend
But not all days are good for spotting eagles. When the skies are as blank as an artist's gray canvas, a one-hour live eagle show awes visitors unaccustomed to seeing these 8-14-pound birds up close. Inspired, they tie scarves on tight and head out to River Front City Park Pavilion, then peer into scopes for peeks at eagles in the trees. Fried catfish lunches, served alongside ham, beans and corn bread, satisfy at the American Legion Hall and the Methodist church; the VFW Hall holds a barbecue lunch.
To round out an eagle-spotting weekend, some travelers find their way to Overlook Farm, a Missouri-proud story of history and heritage rolled up into quiet, plush inns and a farm-to-fork restaurant known for creative twists on comfort foods. It's a perfect end to a day spent admiring American royalty. -- Nina Kult
