Paragould Center participated in the Paragould Regional Chamber of Commerce 3rd Annual Chamber Showcase. The event was held February 26th at the Paragould Community Center. Businesses promoted their products in an expo-type setting. The showcase was a great opportunity for ANC staff to network with other chamber members. The group attended and participated in the pre-event lunch and motivational session. The event was open to the public and area high school seniors. ANC employees who participated: Cindy Burton, Regina Pillow, Pauline Linam, and Wes Pillow. Barbara Baker and Carol Mills helped with the planning but were unable to attend. Marcus Gragg, an ASU intern working with the Paragould center also participated. Seventy seven chamber members set up booths employing this year’s patriotic theme. ANC booth’s theme was “America and Arkansas Northeastern College Rock”. Alternate interpretations of “rock” were used. America Rock from the Schoolhouse Rock series provided reminders of historical events. A rocking chair displayed in front of a patriotic quilt on loan from the Carol Mills collection contrasted with the Rock n Roll attire of the staff. The ANC booth took third place in the judging.
A winning team!
