Here are the top three stories in Bentonville today:

1. This year's NWA Fashion Week, taking place from Mar. 10 through Mar. 12 at The Momentary in Bentonville, will feature increased LGBTQIA+ representation. The three-day event highlights both local and national designers, including The Transition Closet, which serves as a "free closet for people who are transgender, non-binary, and/or intersex." INTERFORM, the nonprofit hosting the fashion week, has cited diversity as one of its core values. (5newsonline.com)
