The seventh annual Howardwick Hoedown raised more money than last year and was a huge success with a great day of fun and fellowship last Saturday at McMorries Memorial Park.
City Secretary Sandy Lynn Childress said the turnout was great and said more food was bought this year than ever before.
A total of $9,643 after expenses will be going to the City of Howardwick Volunteer Fire Department. That’s an increase of more than $500 compared to last year.
Jesse Burrow and Anna Broussard won the Challenger 200EX, which was this year’s big drawing. Several other prizes were raffled off during the day.
The Putting Contest winners this year were Judy Bland, first; D.K. Robinson, second; and Conrad Lucero, third.
