If you missed it on Government Channel the past few days, the Morning News reports that Fayetteville joins Eureka Springs and LOWELL with SHINE award

I watched a magnificent inhouse Government Channel production on Fayetteville's Shine Award at least three times already but didn't notice any information about Lowell and Eureka Springs getting the same award.
Someone check the Government Channel's mandate. Which counties is so-called CITY16 supposed to serve?
Mayor Dan Coody was a central figure in the shows but I can't remember his mentioning any other city receiving the award. Because we know that he had to have been responsible for their being honored along with Fayetteville, surely he would have known that they also SHINE!
I guess that Lowell will have to send someone to take the producer training and get the show on the CAT 18 public-access channel. They can easily do that by New Year's Eve.

Fayetteville, Lowell and Eureka Springs won the awards in their population categories. There are six awards in the state.
The Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission chose winners based on: “Reducing litter, encourage recycling and enhance natural beauty”; economic development; public-private partnerships; securing project funding; and enforcing city laws for property upkeep and litter, commission spokeswoman Julie Robbins said in an e-mail.
Fayetteville will have a reception and award ceremony today.
Lowell and Eureka Springs will have receptions and ceremonies Tuesday.
