🌟 Thank You to the St. Francis County Community Foundation! 🌟
The City of Forrest City, Arkansas, extends our heartfelt gratitude to the St. Francis County Community Foundation for their generous grant of $8,069.00. This funding, made possible through the St. Francis County Giving Tree Endowment, will go toward purchasing new playground equipment for our city park — promoting active play and supporting the fight against childhood obesity in our community.
We also want to thank the Arkansas Community Foundation for facilitating this grant and championing the health and well-being of Forrest City’s children.
Together, we’re creating a healthier, more vibrant future for our kids! 🛝🌳💪

Arkansas Law enforcement will conduct a “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign March 17th in conjunction with the St. Patrick’s Day holiday.
Officials say that every year, alcohol-impaired driving casts a shadow over the festive spirit of St. Patrick’s Day by taking the lives of community and family members across America.
Statistics show that 38% (290) of the traffic fatalities that occurred during the St. Patrick’s Day holidays between 2018-2022 involved drunk drivers.
In 2022 alone, there were 74 drunk-driving fatalities during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, of which 49 involved drivers with a blood alcohol level of almost twice the legal limit.
Drivers ages 21-34 (34%) were the age group most involved in alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities during this holiday, followed by drivers under 21 (30%).
