Bobby Webb of Webb’s Sporting Goods said they have an influx of people from around the world that helps keep their business afloat.

“I never thought I’d have a sporting goods store in DeWitt Arkansas, a rural area, but we’re a destination place, a lot of people don’t realize that,” Webb said. “We have a big influx of people from around the world that come to our area, so that’s how the business has grown over the past 19 years, we’ve been in business the last 19 years.”

Saturday’s special attractions included a chili cooking contest. There are also still prizes available to win including a grand prize of a Tracker Off-Road 800 SX.

It opens back up Sunday at 10 a.m. and runs until 6 p.m.
