The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 25, and the registration fee is $25. Organizers note participants will receive a booklet with soap recipes, several bars of homemade soap, and the knowledge of how to become squeaky clean. Fee includes all material and class size is limited. Those wanting more information, or to register, may contact Powhatan Historic State Park at 870-878-0032 or by email at powhatan@arkansas.com
