Thursday was Senior Citizens Day at the White County Fair in Searcy, with Unity Health providing a delicious BBQ lunch, prizes, and health screenings. Arkansas SHIIP sponsored our live broadcast across all five of our radio stations. Our owner, Bob Connell, awarded cash prizes in four categories: the oldest female, the oldest male, the oldest veteran, and the longest married couple.
Erma Parnell of Letona, aged 85, was recognized as the oldest female. Sunny Jackson, 91, from Joy, won for the oldest male and oldest veteran. The longest married couple award went to Howard and Linda Pratt from Pleasant Plains, who have been married for 62 years.
