The Good News and the People Making it Happen

WOW! Every Premiere Award season surprises me.

I am surprised that we can get all our winners their certificates, take pictures, build ads and get them all listed and to press on time! We are so proud of all our winners and look forward to referring to the list when we need goods or services -- referring Premiere NEA merchants made easy. Remember the list is archived here on our website too!

May’s theme was Homesteading in NEA and, boy, did we find some great examples. Tiny, the pig from DLUX Farms, had a smile that helped us get through some tough days getting this to press. We hope you enjoy the delight as well.

From raising chickens in town to a full freezer of farm fresh meat and a pantry of home canned goods, NEA is thriving in the new world of food sourcing. These are just a small example of the locals striving to be more self-sufficient.

The rest of the issue is packed with events that have happened and those coming up to get on your calendar so you do not miss out on all the “good things” happening in Northeast Arkansas. Stay tuned to Premiere to read the history of the Paragould Meteorite and how you will have the opportunity to see it locally soon. And all the plans for the Eclipse on the Ridge - now less than a year away.

So much to do and see ... keep up the good works NEA!
