 The Bradley County Pink
Tomato Festival is one of the oldest continuous running
festivals in the state of Arkansas.
During the Pink Tomato Festival,
there's dancing in the streets - literally! All in celebration of
that symbol of Bradley County - the tomato.
There's something for everyone - food, shopping, arts, crafts, contests,
pageants, parade, carnival, games, live music - you name it, it's probably there.
The Tomato Festival happens only once a year - so start making
your plans to attend. You wouldn't want to miss it. >> Schedule of EventsA Little History -
Farmers in Bradley County have been raising tomatoes for sale
since the 1920s. They chose a variety of tomato that — would ship
well if picked when the tops of the fruit just barely turned pink.
The Pink Tomato Festival got its start in 1956 to draw attention
to this money crop. It has since become a major summertime event!

Confederate Railroad
Few acts have carved as distinctive a niche in
modern musical history as Confederate Railroad. With their
high-energy combination of honky-tonk rockers, sensitive
ballads, and offbeat humor, they have created a unique identity
that has brought them chart success, multi-platinum sales, and
continued popularity as a road band. Versatility, likability,
and a willingness to stretch boundaries are all part of the mix,
but if there is a formula, not even they can put their finger on
it. More
Ben Coulter
From the swamps, cotton fields, and railroad
tracks of the Arkansas Delta comes a new bluesman and a new mix
of Country music and Delta Blues. With a mixture of artists such
as Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Son House, and Muddy Waters, Ben
Coulter takes smooth vocals, steady harmonica, and a rockin'
acoustic guitar to produce a style being called Country
Music...Delta Style. More
