A big thank you to the City of Cotter maintenance crew for their quick response to a water leak outside Cotter Bridge Market.

When something goes wrong, it’s easy to notice the inconvenience—but it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the people who show up, assess the problem, dig in, and get the job done.

These guys responded quickly, worked hard, and got the leak addressed and the area repaired. That kind of work may not always be glamorous, but it matters.

Small towns run on the people who are willing to show up and take care of them. The maintenance crews, public works employees, first responders, volunteers, business owners, neighbors, and so many others who quietly contribute to keeping Cotter moving forward are a huge part of what makes this community special.

We are grateful for the work you do—and for the commitment you show to the health, safety, and vitality of our little town.

Thank you, City of Cotter, Arkansas maintenance crew, for showing up when your community needs you. We see you, and we appreciate you! 💙

The White River Marathon is more than a race.

It’s one of those special events that puts our little town on the map and gives people from all over the country a reason to come experience Cotter, the White River, and our commUNITY!

The race is a Boston Marathon Qualifier, with a beautiful, flat course that follows the White River and finishes right here in Big Springs Park.

Each year, hundreds of runners, families, and spectators come to town for race weekend.
And here’s the thing: an event of this size doesn’t happen without volunteers.

From helping at aid stations and packet pickup to parking, timing, course support, handing out medals and simply cheering runners on—there are lots of ways to pitch in. The race organizers are currently looking for volunteers in several areas.

When visitors come to Cotter, we get to show them who we are. We get to be the friendly face, the encouraging voice, the person who hands them water at mile 10, or the one cheering them across the finish line.
These are the moments that build community—and they matter.

If you’ve got a few hours to give, please stop by Cotter Bridge Market and add your name to our volunteer signup sheet.

Let’s show these runners what we already know:
Cotter is a pretty special place.
And it’s because of the people who live here.
🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Let’s show up for the White River Marathon!

A little reminder that rest is important, too. 🤍

We’re taking a few days to step away, catch our breath, and make a quick trip to Dallas to celebrate Clay’s sweet mom, who is turning 86! 🎂❤️

As a small, family-run business with just 1–2 employees, there aren’t always a lot of extra hands to keep things going when we need a little time away.

We are incredibly grateful for a community that understands that sometimes we have to slow down, close the doors for a few days, and make room for the things that matter most.

These moments with family are precious, and we don’t want to take them for granted. ❤️

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little family business and for giving us the grace to rest, recharge, and be with the people we love.

We’ll be back next Friday during our regular business hours, rested and ready to see you! 🌿

Proud of our education system Cotter Public Schools

Warrior tribe!
Through the support of our families and community, tireless work ethic of our teachers and staff, and grit and determination of our students, we are pleased to share our district has received a letter grade of A from the Arkansas Department of Education! Our High school received an A, and our elementary earned a B!

This is an honor that we have worked towards for years! Only 10% of districts in the state earn an A, and we want to thank YOU for entrusting us to teach your students and represent the beautiful town of Cotter. Go Warriors!

A little lunch to welcome some new neighbors to Cotter, Arkansas. 🤎

We’re so happy to have another small business putting down roots here — especially one built around something we love so much: coffee! ☕️

At CBM, we believe there is plenty of room for good people, good ideas, and good businesses to grow side by side; cheering each other on as we take the leap to build something of our own.

Small towns are special because we have the opportunity to know one another and support the dreams that bring people here.

There’s room at the table for all of us. And honestly, we think that’s one of the things that makes Cotter so special.

Welcome to town, neighbors. We’re glad you’re here. Let’s keep taking care of each other — and each other’s small business dreams. 🌿🤎
