Faulkner County, Arkansas

Despite the severe weather last weekend Toad Suck Daze was still a success.  There were several vendors lined up along the streets of downtown Conway selling anything from crafts to fried pickles.   Centennial Banks Stuck on a Truck competition started Thursday at noon before Toad Suck Festivities.  The competition began with 23 competitors all claiming they would be the winner of the new Ford F-150.  There was only one winner of the truck keys awarded Wednesday night; Terry Odom of Des Arc received the keys.  He was stuck on the truck for 91 hours and 23 minutes.   Second place, Candace Martin won a new scooter from Duncan Outdoors.  Third place, Jason Beck received a Luxury Pool and Spa hot tub.  Fourth place, Chris Brynell received a $2,000 gift certificate from Freyaldenhovens Heating and Cooling.  Kari Allen received an iPod touch and docking station for raising the most for her chosen charity, $2,653 for Faulkner County Day School.
