BENTON, Ark. — Leading service and solutions provider Access Control Devices, Inc. (ACDI) is proud to partner with the City of Benton for its second annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop on Dec. 31 at its headquarters, located at 403 North Main Street in Benton.

The free event begins at 7:30 p.m. and will feature live music and a mechanical bull, along with a large kids area, including a rock climbing wall, bungee jump, and bouncy house. ACDI is welcoming ten food trucks and a beer and wine truck with items available for purchase throughout the evening.

A percentage of all food and drink sales will directly support Bright Futures Benton, a community initiative within the Benton School District that streamlines school, community, human service, and business resources to quickly meet basic needs and create new opportunities for students so they can succeed in school and beyond.

“Our team relishes the opportunity to bring our community together and celebrate New Year’s Eve with an exciting event that’s sure to be fun for the whole family. We’re especially proud to support an incredible organization in Bright Futures Benton and help ensure that children in our community can thrive in school both academically and socially.”
