Community Fest was a great success!

We were glad to see so many families and community members come together today at the Hoxie Community Center for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and entertainment.

A special thank you goes to the City of Hoxie’s elected officials, staff, and volunteers for organizing and hosting this event for our community. From the food and live music to the water activities and family fun, Community Fest provided a wonderful opportunity for residents to connect and enjoy time together.

We appreciate the City’s continued efforts to create events that bring people together and strengthen our sense of community.

Drop some of your photos and share your favorite moments from the day!

☀️🌳 Summer has officially arrived in Lawrence County! 🥏

The first day of summer is the perfect reminder to get outside and enjoy the many parks, trails, lakes, and outdoor spaces that make our communities special.

One of the newest additions is the Disc Golf Course at Stewart Park in Walnut Ridge, giving residents and visitors another great way to enjoy the outdoors and experience one of our county's community parks.

From kayaking and fishing at Lake Charles State Park to playgrounds, Rails to Trails, walking paths, ball fields, and green spaces throughout Walnut Ridge, Hoxie, Black Rock, Imboden, Ravenden, Strawberry, Lynn, Portia, Powhatan, and beyond, there are plenty of opportunities to make memories close to home this summer.

Whether you're planning a weekend adventure, exploring a new park, or simply enjoying a beautiful Arkansas evening, Lawrence County offers something for everyone.

🌞 Visit.
🌱 Grow.
🏡 Stay for Good.

Sometimes the best summer getaway isn't far away—it's right here in Lawrence County.

💡 Membership Is More Than a Dues Payment

When businesses invest in the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, they're investing in opportunities to connect, grow, and make an impact.

That's one of the reasons the Chamber will transition to an Investment Tier Membership Model beginning in January 2027.

The goal isn't simply to change how membership is structured. It's to provide clearer visibility into the opportunities available through Chamber membership and help businesses better align their investment with their goals.

Whether your focus is networking, community engagement, business visibility, workforce development, tourism, or advocacy, Chamber membership remains a partnership in strengthening both your business and Lawrence County.

As a reminder, no membership changes will take place in 2026. This year is dedicated to education, communication, and conversation as we prepare for the new structure in 2027.
