Summers, the daughter of Ken and Tammy Sum- mers of Murfreesboro, has been accepted to study music education at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Okla. Summers plays the baritone and tuba.

Big Buck Classic Jan. 27-29

The Arkansas Big Buck Classic returns to the Ar- kansas State Fairgrounds for its 27th year this Jan. 27-29. Knife-making demon- strations, mechanical bull riding, live snakes and alligators may grab many people’s attentions, but the show’s true focus is the tro- phies from this year’s deer season, brought in from hunters across Arkansas. Hunters are encouraged to bring their deer’s antlers or mounts to be scored and judged for prizes. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s mobile aquarium and Scales of Justice exhibit trailer will be at the event, and AGFC staff will be on-hand to answer your questions about fisheries and wildlife management and enforcement in The Natural State. The awards presenta- tion begins at 4 p.m., Jan. 29. There is no charge for parking on the fairgrounds site.
