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.

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.
