Honoring the Builders: A Community Storytelling Celebration

A joyful, family-friendly celebration to explore Conway’s stories, share memories, enjoy food and music, and connect across generations. Honoring the Builders of Conway: A Community Celebration Every community is shaped by people who showed up — people who built, taught, created, served, led, cared, and made something possible for others. On Saturday, November 14, join us at MLK Park for a free, family-friendly gathering celebrating the people, stories, and contributions that helped shape Conway — and bringing generations together to share memories, exchange perspectives, and imagine what comes next. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What to Expect • Family fun: Creative activities for children and youth, music, and opportunities for every generation to join in. • Food & Hospitality: Enjoy sweet and savory pies and holiday sides as we gather around stories, hospitality, and community. • Young Builders: Children and families can enjoy face painting, bracelet making, hands-on creative activities, and storytelling that encourages discovery and connection. • Community Conversations: Join three moderated conversations featuring Conway residents across generations. Hear different perspectives on Conway’s history, its people, and its future — and have an opportunity to share your own. • Community Exhibits: Meet organizations contributing to Conway today. Discover local history, community resources, opportunities, and ways to get involved. ______________________________________________________________________ Event Details Saturday, November 14, 2026 11 AM–4 PM MLK Park / MLK Square 1101 Markham Street, Conway, AR 72032 Free admission - RSVP to join us!
