The Democratic Party of Clark County is pleased to announce that the 27th Annual Clinton Day Dinner will be Saturday, October 28, at 5:30 p.m. in the Garrison Ballroom on the campus of Henderson State University.

Pike County, Garland County, and Howard County Democratic Parties are attending along with the Arkansas Education Association, The Democratic Club of Hot Springs Village, The Arkansas Democratic Black Caucus, The Senior Democrats Caucus, The Young Democrats Caucus and the Rural Caucus.
