The action was taken during the council's regular monthly meeting conducted June 12. The funding is provided by the Federal government through the state of Arkansas.

#1 Grandpa
By: Glenn LansdaleI’m sure a lot of folks think they have the World’s Greatest Grandpa, but I have proof: On Saturday, June 9, 2018, my Grandfather, Charles Doss of Warren (age 83), competed in the Bradley County Pink Tomato Festival 5K Walk- making him one of, if not the oldest to ever participate.
Due to some nerve damage in my leg, I was unable to run in the 5K this year, but as a sign of support and encouragement, my Pap-Pa Charlie agreed to walk the 5K with me. This gave me the motivation I needed to enter and finish the race.
Pap-Pa Charlie has seen every Pink Tomato Festival come and go, but I’m hoping this one will go down as one of his most memorable.
June 9 was also my Grandparents’ 62nd Wedding Anniversary. My Grandma, Dorothy “Dot” Doss, went to be with the Lord on January 22, 2017.
She was our Angel-on this side of Heaven.
Pap-pa Charlie: Mam-Ma Dot would be so proud of you, and I am too! Just like any other accomplishment in my life, I couldn’t have done it without you.
With Love,
Glenn
