One of the best reasons to attend the Polk County Fair this week is to support the Mena students showing livestock. We caught LYNNLEE COOK grooming her sheep "Peaches" on Wednesday!
While you’re at the Polk County Fair this week stop by the commercial building & say hello to our teachers. Also be sure to register to win a $300.00 gift certificate from Washburn's Home Furnishings, a handmade ornament by Lorrie Henry & athletic passes.
