PRESCOTT – Ahoy, matey. Boating was the theme for the 15th Annual Beads, Bags and Bangles Thursday night at The Barn at Willow Oak Acres.

Anna Powell, director of instructional advancement for the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana, said the event was a fundraiser for the college’s kids college. Those attending could purchase items, bid on things catching their eye at the silent auction, and try their luck at a drawing for jewelry donated by Alexanders or a travel package o $3,500 from Herndon-Fuqua.

The venue offered self and valet parking for those attending, as well as finger foods. The place was packed from start to finish, with the patrons paying close attention to the auction items catching their eye, and there was something for everyone, even those with “different” tastes, such as an indoor axe throwing game.
