Clarksville-Johnson County Chamber of Commerce


I have been accused by some of being overly harsh on the C-JCCC. They deserve most of my words but today they did a good thing. The Spring Master Gardener sale was held on the train depot patio.

The City needs to provide local farmers a seperate place to market our produce away from the Chamber. preferably away from downtown Clarksville as the Chamber seems to want to kill downtown Calrksville.

21 country Market, Clarksville,Ar. local shopping



21 country Market is my most recent find in my search for local shopping experiences. Locally owned and operated, front door parking, and competitive prices. The Wal-mart butcher buys his family's meat here. Dozens of flavors of ice cream and 80 photos of historical Johnson county on the walls. pictures of how life was before Wal-mart and the interstate ruined downtowns and small businesses. The food is fresh and folks are friendly, the prices are low. Shop local, support local folks trying to make a living.
