Northeast Arkansas Rice Research Center Launches

It all started when on Friday, Governor Sarah Sanders arrived to the Northeast Arkansas Rice Research Center’s grand opening for a special ribbon cutting ceremony. Hundreds of people were there.

Governor Sanders introduced First Congressional District Rep. Rick Crawford before returning to the helicopter to fly away. The ribbon cutting for the event was held at 11:30 a.m.

The event is by no means insignificant.
