2022 Parade to kick off fair, food, carnival fun
The 2022 Clark County Fair will be in full swing Wednesday evening, as a long line of floats, vehicles, tractors, marchers and others will parade through downtown Arkadelphia.
“We have a great lineup so far,” parade coordinator Blake Batson said, noting that more entries were coming in as of Tuesday evening. Fire trucks, bands, cheerleaders and cheer squads, tractors, commercial floats and pageant contestants are among the parade participants. Batson said Arkadelphia High School’s 2022 Homecoming court will be an addition to the parade.
The parade begins at 5 p.m. Residents are encouraged to line the sidewalks and outside storefronts early along Main Street to watch the parade, its route beginning at 12th Street and proceeding east to Third Street. Lineup will begin on Main between 12th and 15th streets at 4:30 p.m. North- and southbound traffic along the parade’s route will be required to detour during the parade.
Entries will be judged in the following categories: Youth, Commercial, Adult and Overall Best.
Once the parade has finished, all the buildings and exhibits at the fairgrounds will be open to the public. Admission is $5 per person, to be paid in cash at the gate. Parking is free.
The carnival opens at 6 p.m., with armbands costing $25. While all buildings will close at 9 p.m., the carnival will remain open until 11 p.m.
