LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT & PUBLISHER, Heather Baker:
Like many Arkansans, I have been amazed to witness the Little Rock Touchdown Club grow into one of the biggest — and definitely the best — of its kind since it was launched roughly two decades ago.
Little Rock sometimes punches above its weight class as a market thanks in part to its status as state capital and “front porch” of Arkansas. The Touchdown Club, for which AY Media Group is the proud media sponsor, is doing the same by bringing in sports superstars such as Jimmy Johnson, Terry Bradshaw, Jon Gruden, Lawrence Taylor, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Emmitt Smith, Brett Favre and many more.
This year’s lineup will be headlined by the men behind two of the most recognizable faces on the planet, both Arkansans — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and former President Bill Clinton. Within three hours of club founder David Bazzel revealing the pair’s upcoming appearance at the club, hundreds of tickets had been sold. Anticipation of that demand is exactly why Bazzel moved the club’s meeting that week from the Doubletree to Simmons Bank Arena.
Jerry and Bill will join Baz to talk Razorbacks, football and Arkansas on Oct. 12. Once again, the club is sure to generate national headlines.
Arkansas is full of so many amazing things, many of which continue to fly under the radar. One of them, for sure, is the Little Rock Touchdown Club. After this fall, I am not sure how much longer the club will qualify as one of the state’s hidden gems.
Enjoy this issue, filled with sports, banking, benefits, “Achievers” and more. Thank you, as always, for reading. Hit me up with story ideas at [email protected].
