Giving a variety of tourist attractions in our community the opportunity to "show their stuff", the Pine Bluff Convention and Visitors Bureau earned the award for "most informative" booth. Their four booths were shared by the Arkansas Railroad Museum, the Arts and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, The Band Museum and the Old Towne Theatre Center. They were joined by the booth of Arkansas’ Land of Legends/Pine Bluff Downtown Development, Inc., which promoted Pine Bluff’s downtown historical murals.
