Welcome to Northeast Arkies Best
On behalf of CelebrateLocalBusiness.com, we are thrilled to bring you the 2025 edition of Northeast Arkies Best. This magazine highlights the effort to discover and celebrate the businesses, people, and places we love most, as voted by you, the local communities of Northeast Arkansas.
The local community nominated their favorites in nine main topic areas: Agriculture, Eat & Drink, Education, Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, Law, Motors, Real Estate, Services, Shopping, and Things to Do.
Over 3,600 businesses, people, and organizations from 14 Northeast Arkansas counties were nominated and included on the ballot during the voting round of our contest. This year, we have winners from Baxter, Clay, Craighead, Fulton, Greene, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Mississippi, Poinsett, Randolph, Sharp, and Stone counties.
We are honored to partner with Saracen Casino Resort as our presenting sponsor for 2025. Saracen Casino Resort, located just 40 minutes from Little Rock, offers an expansive 80,000 square-foot gaming area, over 1,600 slot machines, 40 table games, and a dedicated poker room for those looking to test their skills. When you are ready, take a break from the action by indulging in one of their three on-site restaurants, including their award-winning steakhouse and a lively sports bar. With monthly special events and exciting giveaways, it is always a great time to visit Saracen Casino Resort.
Our awards event, Northeast Arkies Best Awards Gala, is sponsored by Centennial Bank, and was held on April 10, 2025, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton-Jonesboro Red Wolf Convention Center. The event featured a plated dinner and awards ceremony plus after-party complete with Miss Arkansas 2023, Cori Keller, as the emcee. She was a 2020 Cum Laude Graduate of Arkansas State University.
These sponsors join us at CelebrateLocalBusiness.com to celebrate the many businesses, events, services, venues, and most of all, the great people of Northeast Arkansas. They, along with all our sponsors and marketing partners, made this magazine and awards gala possible.
I encourage you to explore and engage with all of our winners. Some may be familiar to you, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business and support. I also encourage you to engage with us online at NortheastArkiesBest.com for more information on winners and businesses in the 14-county area that make up our contest. Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated team, committed businesses and an engaged community.
Congratulations to all the winners! Thank you to those who voted for Northeast Arkies Best!
