 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!

The Bellamy Brothers
For more than 30 years, the Bellamy Brothers have been an unassuming picture of consistency in Country music, crafting honest, heartfelt songs that connect with millions of listeners around the world. Even more remarkable is the fact that they’ve remained relevant in a genre that has become increasingly enamored with style over substance, glitz over grit, and fleeting celebrity over artistic vision. Yet Howard and David Bellamy have weathered the trends admirably, enjoying enormous success throughout their career with numerous No. 1 hits on both the Pop and Country charts.
Evidence of the Brothers’ continued popularity today isn’t hard to find. In 2009 alone, “Let Your Love Flow” received the distinguished BMI Five Million Performance Award and was listed at No. 68 on their Top 100 Songs of the Century. It was also prominently featured in the critically acclaimed AMC television series ‘Breaking Bad.’ The ‘70s smash even broke into the Top 20 on the UK Country charts again – 34 years after it was first released!
