Who Will Win 'Pitch It Texarkana'? Find out Thursday

It's almost time to find out about all the great ideas coming to Pitch It Texarkana this Thursday night and see who the judges decide is worthy of the grand prize of $5,000.

Pitch It Texarkana is an entrepreneurial competition where we will see residents of Texarkana 'pitch' their idea to a panel of judges just like Shark Tank.

First place will win $5,000, 2nd Place will win $2,500 and 3rd place will be a winner too with $1,000. Robbin Bass with the Texarkana Chamber told us that there are 40 entrants and those will be narrowed down through a few rounds and then the public will get to see and hear the finalists.
