ARC is an intensive 18 to 24 month program that returns drug offenders back to society as taxpaying citizens. Currently Bates County 6 persons participating.

Approximately 25 bikes left from the Butler Square and representatives from the ARC said more riders were to join the group in Clinton. This years planned 143 mile course took the riders on a scenic route through Bates, Henry and St. Clair Counties. Stops were planned along the way and the group enjoyed lunch at Sugarfoot Barbeque in Osceola.

The group arrived back in Butler late this afternoon where drawings were held for prizes.
