Congratulations to the Eastland FFA Boys, who took the $50 first place prize, and the Eastland FFA girls, who won the $50 second place prize.
The winners of the grand prize drawings were Daryle Jones, Tom Young and Izaac Kuhlemier. We wish to express our gratitude to Carroll Service, Exchange State Bank, Eastland Junior and Senior High School, The Special Touch, Holly’s Hair Design, Hickory Hideaway, Bella Polizzi’s Pizza, Casey’s, Lanark Pharmacy, and Treasure Hunt for their donations to the prizes.
