The Hempstead County Bicentennial Committee will be hosting the chamber coffee at the Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, June 27 from 9:30am to 11am. The Chamber of Commerce is located at 101 West Second Street in Hope.
Hempstead County was one of the original five counties formed in Arkansas on December 15, 1818. This year, 2018, is the 200th birthday of the formation of the county. With this in mind, the Hempstead County Bicentennial Committee seeks to promote events and celebrations around this year for Hempstead County. Information on the passport program, community events, and bicentennial gifts will be available at the coffee.
