Masks

Yesterday marked 30 days until Opening Day and the State Fair of Texas team continues to work hard to ensure a safe environment for everyone during the Fair this year.

There will be a virtual premiere appreciation concert "Hero Behind the Mask" from Hempstead Hall presented by local entertainer and owner of HeBrews11:1 Coffee Arnetta Bradford on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7PM.

With a growing number of discarded face masks, gloves, and sanitizing wipes found littering roadways and parking lots, Don’t mess with Texas called on the help of some celebrity friends to remind fellow Texans that the only safe way to dispose of used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is in a trash can.

There has been a lot of controversy over masks. The Texas side has a mask mandate the Arkansas side does not. Just recently a judge overturned Shreveport's mandatory mask requirement. But the real question is, with the coronavirus how well do these masks really work?

You could join the fight and help those first responders and folks on the front lines with a great cause with #CoverUpTexarkana.
