FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
36th Annual Arkansas Big Buck Classic Postponed to February 6β8 Due to Inclement Weather
LITTLE ROCK, ARβ The 36th Annual Relyance Bank Arkansas Big Buck Classic presented by Arkansas Best
Chevy Dealers, originally scheduled for January 23β25 at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds, has been
postponed due to forecasted winter weather. The event will now take place February 6β8, 2026 at the
Arkansas State Fairgrounds.
Event organizers made this decision after closely monitoring weather forecasts that indicate
potentially hazardous winter conditions across the region. With thousands of attendees,
competitors, vendors, and families traveling from across Arkansas and neighboring states,
organizers determined that postponing the event was the most responsible course of action.
βIt would be irresponsible for us to move forward this weekend with the winter weather threats that
are being forecasted,β said Tommy Murchison, Founder of the Arkansas Big Buck Classic. βThe Big
Buck Classic has always put the safety of our attendees, competitors, vendors, and staff first. We
also want to ensure the best overall experience for our patrons and the predicted winter weather
would impact travel, participation, and enjoyment.β
Now in its 36th year, the Arkansas Big Buck Classic is considered the largest outdoor and hunting
show of its kind in the Mid-South. For more than three decades, the event has celebrated Arkansas
hunting traditions, community, and the outdoors, drawing families back year after year.
Updated Event Dates:
Friday, February 6 β Sunday, February 8, 2026
Arkansas State Fairgrounds β Little Rock
