Kick off the month by placing banners, signs, and pinwheels outside of your business or home. Pinwheels are placed alongside to recognize the importance of our children, the future they represent, and the things our community can do every day to make sure they are safe and protected.
You can do your part this April by purchasing one of these signs or banners and place it outside your home or business along with sparkly pinwheels.
Also join Children’s Safety Center and Mayor Sprouse on Friday, April 1 at 1 p.m. at the corner of Emma Ave and Thompson. Mayor Sprouse will read a proclamation and declare April, Child Abuse Awareness Month as we place pinwheels around our banner.

Dusty Paws Tour
2022-04-07 - 2022-04-08
The Best Friends Pet Resource Center is breaking the mold — and the blueprint — of traditional animal shelters. This revolutionary space will transform the way that shelters serve pets and engage communities in saving lives.
Join Best Friends Animal Society for the Dusty Paws Tour on either April 7 or 8 at 1312 Melissa Drive in Bentonville. You’ll be the first to see how some truly unique features — including the adoption space, enrichment rooms for dogs and cats, transport area and volunteer bridge — will come together. Since construction has been humming along, we expect both the main building and the veterinary services clinic to be at various stages of framing and drywalling during the tours.
The Dusty Paws Tours will run in small groups of five to eight people and will be approximately 30 minutes each. Please note that you’ll be standing and walking in a construction area. Attendees will be provided with hard hats and must wear closed-toe shoes to join a tour.
Best Friends Animal Society is building a welcoming and inclusive place that will become a point of pride for the region and a model of community-supported sheltering for the entire nation. See the Best Friends Pet Resource Center as it comes to life at 1312 Melissa Drive, Bentonville, AR 72712.

"The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity"
2022-04-13 - 2022-05-08
Think pro-wrestling is all outrageous masks and pyrotechnics? Think again – there’s so much more in this fresh, funny, and high-octane Pulitzer Prize finalist that transforms the West Theatre into an in-the-round arena. “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity” slams together thrilling spectacle, incredible characters, and geopolitical allegory into an invigorating theatrical experience you can’t find on pay-per-view. This smackdown of a play tackles racism, drop-kicks globalization, and brings a championship tale into the ring. In wrestling, as in life, behind every winner lies the story of a really excellent loser. This play contains adult language and themes, strobe effects, and haze.
