Hello, straight from the heart the Arkalalah Executive Committee would like to welcome one and all to the 80th Arkalalah celebration, “Totally 80’s”!  We didn’t start the fire, but we have a lot of pride in carrying on one of the biggest small town celebrations that started all those years ago.  It’s nothin’ but a good time with friends, family, coronation, carnival, parades and the other activities of this week. Whether you’re a stranger in town, or a yearly visitor, I know there’s something going on for everyone.  So, jump into it because there’s always something there to remind me that some of the best of times happened during Arkalalah.  Get into the groove, and let it hit you like a sledgehammer because with or without you, it’s a good thing, she’s a beauty and you just can’t beat it.

Also, Arkalalah would not be possible if it wasn’t for the help and volunteering of many people.  A special thanks to the Executive Committee, our Executive Director Angel Perryman, the Queens Committee, the Coronation Committee, The City of Arkansas City, food vendors and all of our sponsors.  On behalf of the Arkalalah Executive Committee, I thank you!  We GREATLY appreciate EVERYONE!
