Last Wednesday, May 27, Walton team, Tears for Life, went to Las Vegas to participate in the tri-state Donald W. Reynolds Governor's Cup Small Business Plan Competition. Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Nevada participated in this event. The top 2 winners from each state advanced to this competition and Tears for Life won FIRST place in the graduate division. First place was $25,000. They also won the elevator pitch worth $1,000.
