Bang-Up Betty is celebrating Rice Month by giving away TWO Arkansas Rice Flower Necklaces that benefit the Arkansas Foodbank.

Drop by the new Bang-Up Betty storefront at 429 Main Street above Ristorante Capeo Friday and Saturday with nonperishable, non-expired food items to donate to the Foodbank and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win one of these beautiful, meaningful necklaces that were made using real Arkansas rice flowers cast in bronze in the shape of the state of Arkansas. Bring up to 10 items for an entry per item! Proceeds from the sales of our Arkansas Rice Flower Necklace benefit the foodbank, and so far they’ve raised almost $900.

The goal is to reach $1,300 this month for Rice Month. If you’d like to purchase a rice necklace to celebrate Rice Month, they’re available in bronze and sterling silver at Bang-Up Betty Thursdays-Saturdays in Argenta and online here (https://www.bangupbetty.com/…/arkansas-rice-flower…). They’ll have extended hours during Argenta’s monthly outdoor dining and entertainment district; stop by Bang-Up Betty Friday or Saturday (Sept. 10 and 11) from 11am to 7pm, then enjoy the live music, outdoor dining and cocktail specials on Main Street in North Little Rock. Masks are required at all times inside Bang-Up Betty regardless of vaccination status; thank you for keeping each other safe!
