This past weekend, the community of Bentonville came together for the annual Bentonville Harvest Festival, a cherished tradition that marks the transition into autumn. With pre-autumn temperatures settling in, families, friends, and neighbors gathered to celebrate the season and enjoy the festival’s activities.
A highlight of the event was the Harvest Festival Queen’s Contest, where contestants showcased both grace and community spirit. Laci Blanton was crowned Queen, with Vacilya Begley named First Runner-Up. Their achievements were warmly celebrated by attendees, adding to the sense of pride and fellowship that defines the festival each year.
The Harvest Festival continues to be a beloved occasion for Bentonville, bringing residents together to honor tradition, community, and the arrival of a new season.
