In Little Rock Sarah Argue, Julie West and Chance Williams have coordinated an outstanding Arkansas DeltaMade marketplace which will take place Sunday afternoon here at the school. Some students who are not going to CGI-U will be helping them as well as several members of the staff. Approximately 30 merchants from all over the Delta will be displaying and selling their products at the event which is co-hosted by Arkansas’s First Lady Ginger Beebe. Daniel Carey, the director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Southwest Office in Fort Worth, will be present. To date over 200 people (and growing) have made reservations.
