Here's the lineup (beginning at the Cass Co. Livestock Expo bldg. on Hwy. 59):

7:00p.m.: Coon Hunt


As you know, I'm involved in the expansion of newborn screening for Arkansas births, and this expansion does include testing for CF. Early detection can help with treatments and may help with researching a cure. We have an active CF chapter in Texarkana, and it serves both states. To learn more about CF, click here.
