🎶 FREE Spring Concert, NEW Bookstore + Your Weekend Guide
Live music events, new business openings and all the Conway happenings.
Happy Thursday, Conway! 👋
Spring is keeping the calendar busy!
Toad Suck Daze is just around the corner, and this edition has a little music, a little bookish buzz, and a few things worth saving for later on.
Let’s get into it 👇
Conway Men’s Chorus Spring Concert
This spring, the Conway Men’s Chorus is giving the city something to look forward to.
The Chorus will take the stage at Reynolds Performance Hall on the University of Central Arkansas campus on Tuesday, May 5th at 7:00 p.m. for their annual Spring Concert, themed “Songs of Faith. Songs of Spirit. Songs of Fun.”
This year’s program is a remarkable showcase of choral range with over 60 voices on stage, performing everything from the deeply spiritual to the delightfully playful.
Expect the beautiful perennial favorite “Be Still My Soul,” an inspiring new arrangement of “Amazing Grace,” and a mysterious choral take on the “James Bond Theme.”
Bob Dylan fans will be treated to a unique version of “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” while gospel-lovers will tap their feet to a joyful rendition of “This Little Light of Mine.”
Before the men take the stage, the Diamond State Women’s Chorus will perform as guest artists, making this an evening of both male and female vocal excellence.
Bring the family, bring the neighbors, and prepare to be moved.

Pages & Ink is set to open on Saturday, April 25 at 1018 Van Ronkle St., and it’s bringing something Conway doesn’t see every day:
Arkansas’s first romance-dedicated bookstore and candle bar.
The shop plans to mix books, gifts, and a candle experience into one cozy stop.
Which sounds like a strong contender for “most dangerous place for your wallet” in the best possible way😀😀

🌮 Food Spotlight
If you haven't tried Stoby's Cajun Quesadilla yet, consider this your official nudge.
This isn't your average flour-tortilla fold.
It's a grilled beauty stuffed with tender chicken, bacon, green onions, jalapeños, spicy Cajun seasoning, and melted pepper jack cheese.
The result?
A crispy, golden exterior giving way to layers of smoky, spicy, savory filling that'll make you rethink your entire lunch routine.

Person Of The Week: Dr Terry Fiddler
Earlier this month, the Arkansas Mission of Mercy Dental Clinic took over the Conway Expo Center, bringing together hundreds of volunteers, including dental professionals, who donated their time and expertise to deliver an estimated $25 million in free dental services to thousands of Arkansans in need.
The heart and soul behind all of it is Dr. Terry Fiddler, a Conway native who retired after 43 years in dental practice and has since devoted himself to making sure this free clinic keeps coming back, year after year.
Since ArMOM was founded, over 28,000 Arkansans have been treated and more than $23 million in free dentistry has been provided.
🥙 That’s a wrap, Conway!
That’s all for this week’s edition, Toad Suck Daze is just around the corner, and there’s plenty of events happening all across the City of Colleges.
We are taking a brief break next week (you’ll all be at Toad Suck anyways!).
But we will be back the following Thursday, May 7th with another packed newsletter.
Until then, stay safe, enjoy the weather, and let us know if you win a car at the Toad Suck ‘Hands On A Hyundai’ competition!
