An Actor/Comedian known for his Facebook and YouTube videos was in the Ozarks for a show in Harrison Saturday after which he takes to social media to give his visit a positive review.

Josh Pray performed in front of a sold-out audience at the Historic Lyric Theater Saturday, the culmination of a trip that saw him fly to Springfield then make several stops in and around the region. In his video, Pray said people had warned him about coming to Harrison due to its reputation in how it treats Black People. Pray said he still wanted to do the show and would do a video giving his account of his experience. 

Pray said he had zero issues during his visit and enjoyed his time in Harrison and while he doesn't discard the fact that other Black people may have had past problems in the community, he did not personally experience any of that during his time in the city. He described the people as friendly and encouraged anyone to visit and enjoy the scenery and all there is to do.  

Pray titled his Facebook Video "The Truth about Harrison, Arkansas, it Deserves and Apology" which can be found on his Facebook Page.
