Due to the overwhelming response to the Hope/Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce annual banquet, tickets for the dinner portion of the event have sold out. President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the event. The chamber and the University of Arkansas-Hope Texarkana have revised the event to allow more people to attend. The annual meeting and awards presentation will follow the dinner and Clinton will speak in the auditorium of Hempstead Hall. Tickets are $21 and must be purchased in advance. The banquet will be held on April 6th at 6:30 p.m. in Hope. Call 870-722-8565 or visit hempsteadhall.com for more information.
