Adam Jenkins
Behind the Scenes Support
Some of our Kings and Queens may have special needs that prevent their attendance at such a large, social gathering like Night to Shine. But there are still ways for some of them to help.
Since its inception, Fort Smith Night to Shine has had our own weather watcher, badge developer, and videographer. He is WestArk’s own Adam Jenkins. While you may never see him at Night to Shine, his help behind the scenes is invaluable.
Thank you, Adam!
