Y'all better saddle up and get ready for an unforgettable adventure at this year's Frontier Day festival, where we're taking you on a journey back in time to the old Wild West! And what's a good ol' Wild West adventure without some lip-smacking grub to keep you fueled and satisfied?
Let's mosey on over to the food vendors and see what's cookin' at Frontier Day!

For those of you with a hankerin' for some Southern comfort, Mackey's Catfish Food Truck is your go-to spot. They're fryin' up catfish, chicken bites, shrimp, and an array of sides like fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, fried okra, and fried pickles that'll have you feelin' like you're down on the bayou. And don't forget to save room for their homemade desserts!

And if you're lookin' for something fruity and refreshing, check out The Original Arkansas Smasher. They've got fruit drink chillers that'll quench your thirst and keep you goin' strong throughout the day.
Now, folks, after all that grub, we know it’s about nap time, but why not stay and try your luck at BINGO?
That’s right, BINGO is the name of the game at Frontier Day! Presented by the Plainview AR VFW Fisher Law Post 8525 and Auxiliary, the BINGO tent is where the action’s at. Starting at noon and running until around 3:00 PM, you can join in the fun for just a dollar a game. And the prizes? Well, they're as exciting as the festival itself! Frontier Day t-shirts, Halloween inflatables, fall season three-wick candle holders, Roku TV sticks, twisted X t-shirts, garden gloves, kitchen towels, and so much more are up for grabs. It's a rootin' tootin' good time you won't want to miss!
And, last but absolutely not least, when you need a break from all the excitement, make sure to stop in at the Old Frontier Town Saloon for a shot of sarsaparilla. It's the perfect way to wind down and soak in the authentic old Wild West atmosphere.
So, grab your boots and your appetite, and head on down to Frontier Day on September 23, 2023, from 10 AM to 4 PM for a rip-roaring good time!
