Laird, Baker & Blackstock Sponsor Fundraiser
The LBW and MacArthur Foundations held their second annual fundraiser skeet shoot this past Saturday at Shoal River in Crestview. Opp team sponsors included
H.B. Paulk, the City of Opp, and Laird, Baker & Blackstock. A little gentlemenly competition was held between Mayor H.D. Edgar's team and the Laird, Baker & Blackstock team. The team of Wes Laird, Jim Bo Caton (overall individual and long bird winner), Robert Young, and Don Childre defeated the team of Mayor Edgar, Rinkey Stanley, Kenn Howell, and Councilman Jimmy Rogers. Neither team was a threat to the overall team competition though. With 13 teams, the event raised around $12,000 for the Foundations, which provide numerous scholarships locally each year.
