The Arkalalah idea originated back in 1928 by
enterprising citizens - C. M. Boggs, John Floyd
and Pat Summerfield. Their intentions were to
entertain the youth of the city at Halloween time.
The celebration attracts over 35,000 visitors to
our city every year. There are 2 days of fun and
frolic. A queen is elected from the Sophomore
class of The Arkansas City Junior College by
secret ballot. She reigns over the 2 day celebra-
tion. On the second day stunts and racing events
are held for children 12 to 16 years of age. We
have a giant 2 mile parade - Saddle Clubs - some
30 school bands - beautiful floats. Also nationally
known entertainment is brought to town.
