One Table.  Two States. One Epic Toast.  This is the essence of Main Street Texarkana’s annual fund raiser and its new event “Dine on the Line”.  Often, we as a community look at the State Line as something that divides us and brings more red tape and hoops to jump through.  We overlook just how unique and special State Line Avenue makes our community.  We want to do something that highlights not how the State Line divides, but how the State Line brings us together.  What better way to bring people together than to sit down and eat a meal, raise a glass, and have a good time.  And while we are at it, do it right on top of the border that joins our twin cities.  

On October 30, 2015, Main Street Texarkana is throwing a block party that, with your help, will be talked about for years to come and could easily establish itself as a tradition unique to Texarkana.  One extremely long dining table will straddle the State Line from the United States Post Office and Federal Building to Broad Street in the heart of downtown Texarkana.  There'll be live music from local favorite Jawbone, championship BBQ from local favorite Naaman’s BBQ and one Epic Toast.  Plan now to attend this occasion for the community as a whole to raise a glass to the future of Texarkana!

Our cities are inseparable.  Join us in celebrating our common goals, challenges and futures. And help Main Street Texarkana raise funds to continue to build upon the growth of our city center. Tickets are available online at www.mainstreettexarkana.org ($20 - Adult, $10 - 12 & Under) Get your tickets while they last!
