The Blevins Area-Wide Benefit for Arkansas Children’s Hospital was held Saturday and appeared to be a huge success. Hundreds came to the northern Hempstead County town to feast on bar b que chicken, beef,and pork with all the trimmings. The benefit dates back to the 1980’s when the Bonds and Hinton families organized the benefit after several local children had been treated at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Since then, the benefit has raised over $320,000 for ACH. Blevins native Don Worthy also presented a check for $1,000 from the First United Methodist Church in Hope’s Century Bible Class. Thanks to Mark Keith for the information.
