Events and Activities : Block party! First of season set for tonight, downtown

The first Block Party of 2014 is coming up fast! Grab your Family & Friends tonight, Thursday, June 19th from 5-8 p.m. and join in the fun on the 100 Block of West 4th Street. This will be a great time for fun, relaxation, games, and music! Our local businesses will be throwing together all kinds of fun and we encourage you to grab a friend or two and join us. The Benton County Cattlemen will be providing food. Tickets will cost just $1 and can be used for a Hamburger, Chips AND Cookie, and Beverages. So, you can essentially eat an entire meal for just $3/person. It's a great deal and will be a fun time. Food will be limited, though, so come early to make sure you get something to eat. We plan to have some Cooling dancers and the Community Band for your entertainment pleasure. Plus games, give-a-ways, and promotions! Feel free to bring your lawn chair and relax with a burger and friends. Hope to see you there! Participating Businesses:
