32nd Annual Community Fish & Chicken Fry

Aug 27, 2025

Get ready, Hempstead, Nevada, Miller, and Lafayette County residents, it’s almost time to fire up the fryers!

The University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana invites you to the 32nd Annual Community Fish & Chicken Fry on Thursday, September 18, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. This beloved tradition continues to serve up your favorites: crispy Lions Club fried fish and juicy Tyson chicken, all from the convenience of your car.

Drive-thru only means fast, easy pickup. Just follow the signs to the Rapert Library entrance through the main campus drive (by the big electronic sign). Plates are $15 each (cash, card, or check), and while drinks aren’t included, the flavor more than makes up for it.

Best of all, every plate supports the UAHT Foundation, helping to fund student scholarships, such as the U Can Scholarship, which provides a free class for residents of Hempstead, Nevada, Miller, and Lafayette Counties.

Grab your ticket in advance at the Hope campus front desk, or just roll up and buy one in the drive-thru.
