Come one, come all to the 53rd Annual Swine Barn Refugee Boston Butt Cook and Chicken Roast. Chickens will be plucked and butts burned beginning on Friday, June 19th and concluding on Saturday June 20th. Chickens will be sold for the low, low price of $13 and must be picked up between 5pm and 7pm on Friday the 19th. No chicken will be held after 7pm as they tend to argue politics with the pork products. Pork shoulders (i.e. Boston Butts) can be picked up starting at 10 am on Saturday and will be sold for $25.
All orders must be placed by Wednesday, June 17th to Jeff Deniston via email or telephone 870-275-1975.

Today we grieve for those lost in yesterday’s horrific accident on US-63 just outside of Jonesboro. Words cannot adequately convey the sense of loss and heartbreak that is being felt in our community today.
For many years, the Jonesboro Jaycees has sponsored the Special Olympics Basketball Skills in our area. One of the athletes that we’ve come to know over that time lost his life in yesterday’s accident.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims, and also to the survivors as they try to cope with yesterday’s tragedy.
