Old Independence Regional Museum’s 2nd annual “Love Bites” fundraiser on Thursday, February 11 -Volunteer treat makers are needed for Old Independence Regional Museum’s 2nd annual “Love Bites” fundraiser on Thursday, February 11th, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Both sweet and savory bite sized treats will be welcomed this year. Cooks will need to provide 75-100 pieces of their favorite treat. Participating visitors will judge treats and prizes will be awarded to the top three contestants. “Last year ‘Love Bites’ raised $1200 thanks to the generosity of volunteer cooks,” said museum director Amelia Bowman, “we hope to build on that success by adding savory treats to the menu.”
If you are interested in creating “Love Bites” contact the museum at 870-793-2121 or download a registration form from our website at www.oirm.org and return it to 380 S. 9th Street in Batesville by February 4th.
Old Independence serves a 12-county area: Baxter, Cleburne, Fulton, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Marion, Poinsett, Sharp, Stone, White, and Woodruff. Parts of these present-day counties comprised the original Independence County in 1820s Arkansas territory.
