Hooterville Hoedown, a
reverse raffle fundraiser
held at Hooterville Farms
in Byron. A grand prize of
SIO,OOO was to be awarded to
the last ticket drawn.
However, at the end of the
night after an intense final
round and after all the deals
were made, the owners of the
last two tickets in the draw
ing decided to split the pot
and both go home winners.
Richard Tritt of Warner
Robins and Bobby Everidge
of Byron made the mutual
decision to split the winnings
in half. Therefore, each win

Talk with your spouse
about how and when you
spend money on your chil

appropriate for birthdays?
Christmas? Other holidays?
Again, if one spouse’s par
ents never bought presents
at Easter, for example, and
the other lavished Easter
gifts on the kids, there’s
bound to be conflict in this
family. Talk about these
things in advance, if possi
ble. Or at the very least, talk
about them calmly when you
realize your ideals conflict
with one another. Find corn

“This fundraiser was a
great success for us,” said
Cheryl Stelk, director of
Advancement at Middle
Georgia Technical College.
“We had a huge crowd turn
out for a really enjoyable
evening with the excite
ment of the raffle, goo food,
good music, and a bonfire
to ward off the cool weather.
We especially want to thank
our hosts Tim Dupree and
Linda Shingler who gener

location for our event.”

South Carolina, Tennessee,
Virginia, and West Virginia.
The annual Southeast
Region Championship game

It takes compromise and
purposeful planning to
resolve conflicting methods
of handling money. But if
you communicate with each
other, you can discover your
strengths and weaknesses
as a couple, combining the
strengths to build a stron

- relationship.
