Arkansas Women's Show: Win It!

The 2010 Arkansas Women’s Show will be June 12-13 at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock.  Gather up all your girlfriends for a weekend of  shopping, food, entertainment, information, and fun! The event features a cooking show with celebrity chef Paula Deen on Saturday and a performance by American Idol finalist Mandisa on Sunday. Themed areas include the Home and Garden Pavillion sponsored by Champion Windows, Health and Wellness Lane sponsored by Baptist Health, Fashion Avenue sponsored by Dillards, Culinary Court, and The Marketplace.  A sampling of other cool goings-on include (click here for complete schedule):

  • Sat. 1pm: Jones New York “How to Wear It” Fashion Show
  • Sat. 2pm: “Clear the Clutter. Change Your Life” workshop
  • Sat. 3pm: Self Defense for Women
  • Sun. 1pm: Container Garden seminar
  • Sun. 2pm: Beauty Buzz seminar
  • Ongoing: Health Screenings from Baptist Health

I have attended a similar event in St. Louis, MO and am super excited to check this out.  I’m a little nervous about the Paula Deen cooking show though.  When I see her on TV, I can’t resist repeating everything she says just to try out her accent.  Hopefully I can keep myself stifled when I see her live!  For sure I’ll be sniffing around the vendor booths for all the freebies I can get my hot little hands on, and I’m hoping to score one of the 5 minute personal style consultations with Lloyd Boston.  I’m also curious about what will be available in The Marketplace: I’ll be toting some mad money in case I don’t win the $500 vendor spending spree giveaway.

Oh, what’s that?  You want to go to?  Well, it just so happens that I have a pair of weekend passes to give away. These passes have a value of $50 for the pair and get you all the fun stuff mentioned above, and then some!

    OMG! I’d love ticets to see Paula Deen! That’s would be the best thing EVER!

  8. I would LOVE to see Paula Deen, then after all the butter talk, I will have to go to one of Baptist’s Health Screening, then when I find out how weak my upper bosy is, I will have to go to the self defense for women (to protect my butter of course). Then, I will go to the Beauty Buzz seminar to figure out how to be beautiful at the farmers market. Of course I will have to go by the container gardening seminar (brushing up on skils). So, I really NEED to go to this, pick me, pick me! Four entries for me please (comment, subscribe, Momcation fan, and share on FB)
