Arkalalah

A celebration and parade that takes place in Arkansas City, Kansas. Popular for its awesome food vendors and a carnival every October! Also the time when Queen Alalah, chosen from 5 young ladies attending Cowley College, is crowned.

"Arkalalah" comes from "Ark" in the town's name, and "alalah", a Native American word for a "good time".

"I can't wait for Arkalalah so I can have the chocolate-covered cheesecake on a stick again!"
