Heber Springs: Home of Workamper News

Traveling through Arkansas, we detoured a bit to visit with Steve and Kathy Jo Anderson, owners of Workamper News, and the staff in Heber Springs. Heber Springs is on one side Greers Ferry Lake, formed by a large Corps of Engineers project, so it mainly serves boaters and vacationers. We stayed at Wagon Circle RV Park, outside of town a bit- nice park along the Little Red River that was quiet and pleasant.

I had met Steve previously on several occasions at Workamper Job Fairs. We had stopped to talk about the seminars we will offer at the two upcoming job fairs in Lakewood, FL and Mesa, AZ in January. We also talked about the exciting things happening at the Workamper.com website. The new forums and community pages are up and the forums are open to everyone. They have many exciting features. Check them out!



Steve is a former teacher and was in charge of hiring at Adventureland in Iowa. At Adventureland, he developed the Workamper program. When he left after purchasing Workamper News, Adventureland was using 400 Workampers a season! He brings experience, plus many skills and new ideas to Workamper. Jody, pictured with Steve and I, is an Anderson too and a very talented graphic artist. The magazine is looking good.

Workamper is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. And these new features give Workampers even more tools for finding jobs. If you are even thinking of working or volunteering on the road, a subscription is a must. Jaimie  (Photos- By George)
