“Arkansas Treasures” is looking for people in Arkansas to dust off any 'treasures' they have and bring them in to be evaluated by a professional. They could have their piece and story on the show when it airs in December.

Marge Betley the Arkansas PBS Foundation CEO said in a press release;

This one-of-a-kind opportunity gives viewers a chance to finally find out more about that item tucked away in the attic – and see if it is worth more than just sentimental value. We can’t wait to see all the treasures that will come through our studio doors in August, and we’re even more excited about the stories behind them.

“Maybe we’ll get to surprise someone with a financial value beyond their wildest dreams – and maybe their item and story will end up in the final production!”

The U.S. Census 2019 American Community Survey and America's Health Rankings Senior Report 2019 data were also used to provide demographics on the senior population of each state and the state's rank on senior health care, respectively.
