Sunday, July 8, 2007 — The V.F.W. Post 2908 hosted a Family Fun Day event for the community June 2 to raise funds for their organization.
Through a lot of hard work and dedication from the group members and the sponsorship of many local individuals and businesses, the event was a great success.
The day’s events included free health screenings, fishing competition, horseshoe tournament, dunking booth, a clown, various children’s games, DJ music and a special presentation and demonstration from the Eastside Volunteer Fire Department.
The organization also sold chicken and hot dog plates on Friday and Saturday and the ice cream was available for purchase. DJ music was provided by Chris and Jonathon.
Twenty-one children participated in the fishing competition and certificates and prizes were awarded to all participants.
The following categories were awarded in the fishing competition: First Place Biggest Fish - Jake Hatley; Second Place Biggest Fish - Dillon Chandler; Most Fish - Matthew Honeycutt, Small-est Fish - Alexis Faulkner; and a special award for “Trying the Hardest” was awarded to Dakota Honeycutt.
The winners of the horseshoe tournament were: First Place - Dustin Caudle and Cameron Faulkner; Second Place - Kim Hartsell and Justin; and Third Place - Bill Smith and Victor Crisco. Horseshoe tournament winners were each awarded certificates and trophies as well as gift certificates.
The V.F.W. would like to offer their sincere thanks and appreciation to the sponsoring businesses and individuals.
