Flipping the switch to turn on the Christmas lights downtown Saturday night was Miss Pea Ridge 2018 MaKenzie Shirley (who is also Miss Benton County 2018).

Mayor Jackie Crabtree posed with MaKenzie Shirley, Miss Pea Ridge, and thanked the members of Beta Alpha, the organization that sponsors the annual Pea Ridge Christmas Parade. Crabtree, who was just relected for a sixth term, along with long-time City Clerk Sandy Button and newly-elected council members Matt Ahart and Cody Keene were the grand marshals of the parade, according to Beta Alpha member Sandy Fletcher.
