Brooker meal slated Sunday

By Sandy Morris

A raffle and a brisket plate fundraiser are scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 21 to benefit local resident Kristi Brooker. 

Brooker, who is fighting stage four breast cancer, has been a long-time supporter of the community and continues to serve as a volunteer firefighter. 

The brisket plate fundraiser will be held at the Bank Park and will include brisket, beans, and potato salad.

The cost is a suggested donation of $10 per plate, and all meals will be served ‘to-go’ starting at 11:00 a.m.

Whole, cooked briskets also can be pre-ordered.

Raffle Tickets

Raffle tickets are currently being sold for a JTS X12PT 12 gauge pump action shotgun with a 4+1 chamber and a pictanny rail, as well as a GPS series Range Handgunner backpack.

The shotgun retails for $259.99, and the backpack sells for $75.

Tickets for these items are $5 each or five tickets for $20.

Tickets may be purchased from Tina Bernstein by calling or texting her at 325-762-5487.
