FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – 500,000 lights are the featured attraction at Fayetteville's annual Lights of the Ozarks event but some of the traditional festivities wouldn't be possible without help from students at the University of Arkansas. For nearly a decade, students in the Hospitality Innovation program have organized the Lighting Night parade and other details in a partnership with the Fayetteville Visitors Bureau and Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission. Students utilize their planning, budgeting, organizational and production skills working on the project.
