The Long Valley Chapter of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) held its annual Deer Hunters Ball on Thursday, Oct. 15, marking the first time the event was held in the organization's new gym, according to a Oct. 21 report.
The event featured a raffle of various items, including baseball caps and three new canoes donated by Shanna Frost of Frost Painting and Maintenance. Other donated items included a picnic table and a hand-hewn loveseat created by Clayton Cox of Mountain Rustic Furniture. Contributions were also provided by State Bank of Southern Utah and Garkane.
Among the raffle prizes was a $1,500 gift certificate from Spencer's Gunsmith & Sale in Glendale, which was won by Jill Cluff of Alton. The prize was featured alongside drawings by District Special Reporter Keaton Earl of St. George. Additionally, the raffle included a $500 gift certificate for a one-time purchase of bullets donated by Rob Hatch.
