It’s Father’s Day Weekend!!!

In honor of that, here’s a dad joke for you:

Why did the football coach go to the bank?

To get his quarter back. 😂

There are lots of activities going on in Arkansas over the next few days and we’ve gathered the details for several of them here.

We hope that you can get out and enjoy some of them!

However you choose to spend it, we hope you have a great weekend!

NOTE: As always, we do our best to bring you accurate information… however, we encourage you to reach out to event venues to confirm before you head out to an advertised event!
