BACC Holds First United Methodist Church Playground

The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the First United Methodist Church Playground on Tuesday, November 7th. First United Methodist Church Playground is located at 615 E. Main Street in Batesville directly behind the church. The playground is open to all community members and is handicap accessible.

The new playground was inspired by the children who attend First United Methodist Church. With the help of the church, community members, Atlas Asphalt, Midwest Lime, Lyon College Band and Lyon College Girls Basketball Team, the inspiration came to life. First United Methodist Church invites everyone with open arms to enjoy their new playground. For more information about the playground please call Katie McLean, Director of Children’s Ministries at (870) 307-4034.

Ambassadors in attendance included Pasha Alexander (Centennial Bank), Ashley Engles (Citizens Bank), Tracy McClurg (Citizens Bank), Cliff Brown (First Community Bank), Matt Rush (FNBC), Brooke Stevenson (Independence County Cable TV), Deann Castleberry (North Arkansas Home Care), Julie Hinkle (Southern Bank), and Ashley Keck (White River Health System Foundation).
