Our new issue has arrived and you can view the whole issue here, July 2011.   Congratulations to our NWA Naturals Cover Kid winner, Hunter Hook of Bentonville!  The photo shoot by Amber Lanning Photography on the Arvest field was truly amazing.  Thank you to the NWA Naturals for making this a dream come true for this special young man.  Below is his essay, “Why I Like to Attend a Naturals Baseball Game”.

I like to attend Naturals Baseball games because it is a lot of fun
watching last year’s champions do their best to defeat their
opponents. When I go to a baseball game it is phenomenal to see the
Naturals hit homeruns and make diving catches. Everytime I go to one
of their games, I imagine I am the pitcher and try to decide what
pitch to throw to strike out the batter. I play baseball and I just
wish I could be just like them. They are the best in Arkansas and I
want to be a player on the Naturals team when I grow up. Going to a
Naturals game makes me more and more determined to follow my dream.- Hunter Hook, 10 years, Bentonville
