The 24th annual Bramlett Beans & Cornbread Community Fundraiser was held December 1 at the Texarkana Convention Center. Former Mayor James Bramlett invited the community to this event which featured beans, cornbread, tea, coffee and dessert. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Christmas Basket program, a volunteer effort that provides holiday food for Texarkana, USA, citizens who are in need. The initiative, led by the Cities of Texarkana, Texas, and Texarkana, Arkansas, along with the Texarkana Water Utilities, provides over 100 baskets to local families.
