Is gonna be a super Father’s Day weekend in Texarkana. Some great events and activities are planned for the Juneteenth weekend along with some fantastic live music that involves the Rolling Stones and Elvis!
Friday, June 17 at Crossties it is the Big Daddy Daughter Dance, the theme for 2022 is “Denim & Diamonds”. Festivities begin at 6:00 pm with dinner, dancing, games, and a huge amount of extreme cuteness as daddies, pawpaws, uncles, big brothers, or the like escort the little princesses into the party. Get more information by contacting Mission Texarkana. This is the big fundraiser of the year for Mission Texarkana. Mission Texarkana ministers to the residents of Texarkana by providing daily meals, food pantry items, vocational assistance, and most importantly, the gospel message of grace found in Christ Jesus.
