“It was a fun-filled day with friendly competition, raffle prizes, and numerous silent and live auction items. Tinker’s Catering provided concessions at both sites. We would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all who participated in any way to make the day successful. Brandon would have had fun at this one! We believe in supporting our local youth and community programs to help create a thriving future for our rural lifestyle,” said Corey and Lisa Gerdes.
