The famous Buck Fever Festival, the annual event put on in the town of Banks in Bradley County, held its 36th consecutive festival this past weekend, November 11-12 during the customary start of Arkansas’s modern-gun deer season.
In these parts, Buck Fever is the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season, and 2022’s festival didn’t disappoint. Featuring food vendors, a dog show, class reunions, fish dinners, and the ever-so-anticipated parade, Banks’s yearly celebration of deer season was once again well attended.
