FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — 25 years after it was buried, a time capsule inside the Northwest Arkansas Mall will be opened this March.

Thursday, March 17, marks the mall's 50th anniversary.  

Jeff Bishop, Senior General Manager, and Charlotte Young, Specialty Leasing Manager, will be leading the capsule opening effort at noon on March 17 in the Food Court.
