Hey Y’all we were so happy to have hosted the 1st ever Paw Paw festival in Arkansas last year in the tiny town of Chester AR. It was a blast 💥 and we are gearing up for round two, the 2025 Paw Paw festival will be held in Chester Arkansas on September 20th. Events will be going on all day long 8am-6pm, breakfast will be served from 8am-11am at the Farmers Market Pavilion, there will be food trucks, and a Paw Paw themed ice cream truck. The apothecary & gift shop inside The Beard and Lady Inn will be open all day for shopping all your herbal and paw paw needs. Join us in the Apothecary for some guest speakers on fall foraging, paw paws, wild crafting, and Primitive skills. Get a team together and enter in our corn hole tournament 🌽 it’s $25 to enter in corn hole 🕳️ and the winner gets half the pot! Join us out on the Patio for the 2nd annual “Paw Paw” pageant, this pageant is for Paw Paws only (a native fruit and also a southern term for grandpa). They will have to participate in a paw paw seed spitting competition and give their best words of wisdom in 3 minutes. Winner will be crowned the 2nd annual Paw Paw King 👑 of the only Paw Paw festival in Arkansas. More details will be posted soon 🔜 we look forward to seeing y’all there :).
