WALNUT RIDGE, Ark. — The Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce will host the 2026 Ag Appreciation Expo on Friday from 8 a.m. to noon at the Clover Bend Historic District. The event is presented in partnership with the Randolph County Chamber of Commerce.
The free Expo celebrates the vital role agriculture plays in the regional economy and provides a morning of education, networking and industry connection for producers, agribusiness leaders and community members.
Educational sessions will be sponsored by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, whose representatives will provide classroom instruction and agricultural expertise throughout the event.
Vendors and exhibitors representing a wide range of agricultural products, equipment and services will be present throughout the morning. A complimentary lunch will be available at noon on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
In addition, high school seniors are encouraged to apply for the Ag Appreciation Expo Agricultural Scholarship, which supports students pursuing agriculture and agriculture-related fields. Scholarship details and the application form are available at: tinyurl.com/AgExpoScholarship
The Ag Appreciation Expo rotates annually between Lawrence and Randolph counties, with Lawrence County serving as the 2026 host.
