Great opportunity for local artists?

ATTENTION: Any artists around the Bates County Area that would like a chance to get there art work and name out there needs to read this. Valerie Stubbs Heckadon is looking for someone who can paint a image of the drive in and her dads truck somehow in the picture. This painting will be on the white buliding next to Sams Highway Hamburger ( Chicken Larry's) where the auction house used to be. Once again this is for free and just to get your name out there. If your interested in this please contact her by email at valheckadon@gmail.com.... BATES COUNTY LIVE WILL UPDATE THIS WITH A PHOTO OF THE WALL YOU WILL BE PAINTING SHORTLY THANK YOU

Sams Highway Hamburger back with a new name?

Okay so it is time to let the "Chicken out of the Box"... You all know that the property was sold because it was in foreclosure, Well I couldn't stand the thought of knowing that this place would be gone forever, So Mark and I found a way to buy it at the auction, and we have A LOT of work to do to get it back into shape and opened back up. I will be running it, the way it used to be ran. It is going to be hard and I know what I have to do to keep it part of Butler's History..... Though I know it will always be called Sam's, I hope to continue on a Legacy and will be naming it Chicken Larry's for my Dad... I hope you all will continue to be a customer after Mark and I get it remodeled and up and going again. Thanks!!
