The 8th Annual "Best Salsa in he Ark-La-Tex" contest is Saturday at the farmers market at 305 Texas Blvd in Texarkana.

“The public is encouraged to enter their best salsa recipe into one of six categories; mild, medium, hot, smokin’ hot, and specialty,” Fleming said. “A restaurant category will also allow local establishments to show off their best recipe. If an individual wants to enter, all they need to do is bring four pints of salsa made with their recipe to the Farmers’ Market the morning of the event.”
