Hoedown earns $9k for H’wick fire dept.

The sixth annual Howardwick Hoedown was a huge success with a great day of fun and fellowship last Saturday at McMorries Memorial Park.
City Secr etary Sandy Lynn Childress said the weather was pretty warm, but it did not deter anyone from having a good time.
“It was the best one year,” she said. “It was the biggest turnout we’ve ever had, and it was the most donations that we’ve ever had.”
A total of $9,100 after expenses will be going to the City of Howardwick Volunteer Fire Department.
Butch Murray won the mini-bikes and trailer, and several other prizes were raffled off during the day. The Putting Contest winners were the teams of first place, Smoke Rings; second place, 2×2; and third place, The Luceros.
The community event was a great opportunity for fellowship, and many people attended to enjoy the vendors, food prepared by the fire department, and music throughout the day.
