The attire for this event is semi-formal. Ladies should wear a nice dress or slacks while men should wear a suit and tie or a nice shirt and tie.

Arkansas is kind of hit or miss, so it's hard to say. It will be June, so dress light in preparation of hotter weather and humidity.

The ceremony will take place at the Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranch chapel. The reception will take place at their event center. Signs will be set up to lead the way to both.
