Getting the kids ready for back to school is a challenge for almost everyone, with school supplies, new clothes, shoes, sports stuff, hair, nails, and who knows what else. Wait, hair and nails? Yep, that one almost got by me... 

But let's get real, looking your best is all part of feeling good about yourself, and this is a great community event taking place in Texarkana, Arkansas next Friday, August 9.

The Back to School Bash 2024

The Back to School Bash will take place at 911 Ferguson Street, right there at the Texarkana Housing Authority across the street from Bramble Park.

Hours: 9 AM - 2 PM

Food, games and fun for all ages! There will be speakers, vendors, and Emergency Response Vehicles on display.

Free Hair cuts, braiding (you must bring your own hair), nail painting, and art designs will be available for children and teens only, from Pre-K to 12th grade.

They say, to be prepared to get wet, lots of water will be involved.

Authorization forms are required to participate in the games and activities, and parents must accompany small children. The Housing Authority will not be responsible for mishaps due to a parent not being present.
