W
e are thrilled to bring you our inaugural edition of Best of River Valley presented by Atchley Air. Partnering with local companies, including our presenting sponsor Atchley Air, a third-generation, family operated business in the River Valley, made this contest possible. Our objective was simple, to create economic lift and overall promotion of the River Valley while engaging the community in celebrating the places, restaurants and local businesses that make the area unique. We accomplished this objective as we generated over 36,000 votes and are recognizing 460 businesses that were voted best in our first ever Best of River Valley! This magazine showcases the effort to discover and celebrate the businesses, people, and places we love most—as voted by you, our local community. Many of you are aware of our other news brand we launched on July 4th in the River Valley. While the River Valley Democrat-Gazette name is new, our news team telling stories within the River Valley is not. Our team has been reporting stories in River Valley communities from Fort Smith to Clarksville for decades. Our sports department has been covering River Valley prep sports from pre-season to playoffs with game stories, previews, and features in our weekly Prep Rally Round Up. We also added a media day at Hunts Park providing the opportunity to meet the area’s top coaches and players, and to say thank you for their efforts. Our features department continues to write about things to do and how to be entertained in the River Valley. We have also recently added “What’s Up, River Valley!” which is delivered to our replica subscribers and our Sunday River Valley print subscribers. It’s also available at many businesses on Garrison Ave. and Rogers Ave. in Fort Smith each Wednesday. You can also find some additional publications in the River Valley: Ozark Living, our lifestyle magazine powered by real estate agencies and agents; La Prensa Libre, devoted to the growing Hispanic community; and Official Kids Mag, which tells the stories of local kid heroes and provides a resource for teachers and parents alike. We are continuously expanding our news, sports, and advertising/marketing services in the region. Our new office location on Court Street in Fort Smith is nestled between the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce and the main downtown branch of First National Bank of Fort Smith. We currently employ two news reporters, Thomas Saccente and Max Bryan; a digital marketing specialist, Lucien Jodoin; and our Digital Solutions Manager, Tara Lynch. We have also contracted a true River Valley sports authority, Leland Barclay, for exclusive weekly content. These local experts will assist in telling the stories of the River Valley and helping local merchants grow their businesses. Local, accurate journalism is important to every community. I’ve been doing this kind of job for 27 years because I believe that. Please support our efforts to provide journalism in, by and for your community. Sign up for a free newsletter for Breaking News, Morning Updates, Prep Sports, Arkansas River Valley news and much more at nwaonline.com/email. Feel free to email or call me and we will assist you on a new subscription to receive an iPad with our seven-day replica app and Sunday home delivered print newspaper. Our team will continue to do our best to report the news and to assist in the marketing and promotion of the River Valley, including our Best of River Valley contest. Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated local team and committed businesses. We are humbled and honored that Atchley Air became our presenting sponsor for 2021. They, along with all our advertisers and readers made this possible. We could not be prouder to pay tribute to the great businesses that were voted the best. Thank you to all the folks who took the time to vote. We encourage you to explore BestofRiverValley.com and engage with our winners. Some may be familiar, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business. Please make sure to congratulate them for being voted Best of River Valley! We appreciate your support!
