Small Town Arkansas Shines During Guy’s Peachfest

A popular summertime crop is celebrated July 12-13 during the 2nd Annual Guy Peachfest.  This small Faulkner County community has a jammed-packed, two day event with all sorts of activities taking place in the city park. Prior to the actual festival, the Miss Peach Beauty Pageant will be June 29, 2013 at 5 p.m. at the Guy Perkins cafetorium.  All the other fun begins on Friday evening, July 12, with a rodeo and a concert by HomeTown Bluegrass.  Other performers this year include One Way Road, Doubleshot, and Midnight Express.

​

Also on the schedule are a Saturday morning pancake breakfast, a 5K run/walk, a parade, a classic car show and shine, a horseshoe tournament, and the peach cook-off.   A skeet shoot, a poker run, lawnmower races, a mini-tractor pull, Guy’s Got Talent contest, and a variety of vendor booths and concessions are other festival attractions. Games and other activities for children will be in the Kiddie Korner. Saturday night brings rodeo and musical performances, ending with a fireworks finale.  Guy is approximately 25 miles north of Conway on Ark. 25, five miles off U.S. 65 north.
