To show appreciation for what they do all year long, the Greater Bryant Chamber of Commerce is coordinating its fourth First Responders Luncheon set Oct. 13.
"The First Responders Lunch is a 'thank you' to all first responders from all the businesses as appreciation for what they do all year to take care of us," said Chamber President and CEO Jason Brown.
Due to COVID-19, this year's luncheon will look different. Instead of bringing the responders together with the community, the Chamber will disperse lunch to them. Brown estimates they will feed about 300 first responders.
The Chamber plans to host a Facebook Live with Bryant Mayor Allen Scott, Benton Mayor Tom Farmer, Bryant Fire Chief JP Jordan, Benton Fire Chief Bill Ford, Bryant Police Chief Carl Minden, Benton Police Chief Scotty Hodges and Saline County Sheriff Rodney Wright.
