OCH to host fall festival

GRAVETTE -- In the spirit of the season, Ozarks Community Hospital in Gravette is hosting its first annual fall festival and chili cook off on Saturday, Nov. 8, from 2 to 5 p.m.

The festival is free and open to the community and will take place both indoors and outside on the hospital grounds. Families are invited to attend and enjoy free food and kid-friendly activities, including a bounce house, hay rides, face painting, pumpkin painting, a petting zoo and more.

"This year we wanted to create a fall-focused event that includes not just the hospital but also local businesses, clubs, churches and more," said Amanda Gittlein, marketing manager. "This new seasonal event will give us a chance to better connect with our community and be a part of something that all ages will enjoy."

The festival will also feature a chili cook off contest and vendor booths for local businesses. For more information about either, call Amanda at 479-344-6464.
