FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas Bookstore will host a reception and book signing honoring coach Frank Broyles from 1-4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12, at the Bookstore, 616 N. Garland Ave.
The public is invited to the event, which launches a new book, An Arkansas Legend: The Life & Legacy of Frank Broyles, published by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The book will be available to buy before and after the event. Ten percent of book sale proceeds will be donated to the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation: Care Givers United for Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
The heirloom-quality, coffee-table book features tributes from Arkansas Democrat-Gazette sports columnist Wally Hall, Associated Press reporter and Stephens Media columnist Harry King, Arkansas sports reporter and columnist Nate Allen, along with more than 200 images from the archives of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Stephens Media and from sports fans from throughout Arkansas.
Coach Broyles will sign copies of the book and has also purchased a limited number of special edition footballs commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Razorback's national championship that he is bringing to the event. People attending the event can register for a drawing, and both the footballs and a limited number of the books will be given away during the event.
