Dick Van Dyke & The Vantastix will be performing on July 10th at the Hot Springs Convention Center.  The show will be benefiting the American Cancer Society.

This is the only show that Dick has performed outside of California, so it is a huge opportunity for people in Arkansas to be able to see him.  Jerry Van Dyke will be there that night as well.

The first ever wrestling match between rivals Benton Panthers and Bryant Hornets is set for February 13th at the Benton Arena.

Weigh-ins begin at 8:30 AM and the meet will begin at 10:00 am.

This is a great sport that is in its infant stages in Arkansas.  The first Benton-Bryant meet would be a great way for people in this area to find out more about the sport.
