As summer begins in the Natural State, many Arkansans will turn to farmers' markets for fresh produce and other farm products to feed their families nutritious meals.
The Heart-N-Hands Extension Homemakers Club met recently at the Pursuit Church at White Hall. Two programs were presented: Financial Caregiving-Considering our Options and What's Up With Succulents?
This Saturday, the public is welcomed back to Pop Up in the Bluff. The family fun starts at Barraque Street and Third Avenue at 11 a.m. and continues until 3 p.m. There will be displays, arts and crafts, information stations, a variety of food trucks, an estimated 45 vendors, as well as plenty of kids' activities and live music.
An increase in the number of food trucks in Pine Bluff became more apparent in the past two years as the pandemic forced restaurants to close and people were leery of congregating inside. As the pandemic wears on, food trucks are becoming even more prevalent.
