Comfortably; we are casual here in Arkansas. Our average temperature in the summer (July) is a humid 81 degrees and in the winter (January) a cool 39.5. Our annual average is 62 degrees.

Will I need to rent a car?
The Peabody provides shuttle service to and from the airport. Each day of training, DataPath will provide transportation to and from the hotel. DataPath will also provide lunch during each day of training. DataPath will transport trainees to the airport at the close of their last training session. If you would like to do some sightseeing, shopping, or dine away from the hotel in the evening, the hotel does have a shuttle service you can arrange to use, or you can take a cab. If you prefer to have your own transportation, you will need to rent a car.
