In a press conference conducted February 18th Danny Herring, Chairman of the 2015 Bradley County Pink Tomato Festival and Chamber of Commerce President David King announced the entertainment lineup for the 59th festival set for June, 2015.  Among the acts to be present are:  Stone Aces, David Byrnes, Craig Wayne Boyd who won "The Voice" on December 16, 2014, the Tejas Brothers and Lonestar.

The festival committee has made a major effort to enhance the volume and caliber of the entertainment.  The 59th Festival will provide the most high caliber  entertainment in the history of the annual event and it will be free to the public and cover additional days during the festival.

In order to cover the cost of the additional entertainment the festival must raise about $15,000.00 more than in the past.  Over the last several years the cost of putting on the event has run around $70,000.00.  It is expected to take close to $85,000.00 in 2015.  Efforts will be made to generate income through t-shirt sales, vendor fees and other money producing activities but the bulk of the money has always come from business and personal contributions.  The festival committee is asking all Bradley County Businesses to contribute as much as possible and individuals to do likewise.  All donations are tax deductible through the Chamber of Commerce.  Send your contributions to the Chamber at 104 N. Myrtle Warren, Arkansas 71671.  In return for all funds given the festival will provide advertising packages based on the amount of the contribution.  For further information on how to give and the benefits of taking part call the Chamber at 226-5225.
