On Tuesday, Jan. 20 Hancock County Farm Bureau Board of Directors sponsored their second free popcorn/best shot contest in Garner as they played West Hancock in their varsity girl’s and boys’ basketball matchups. We handed out 320 bags of free popcorn to those in attendance!!

Our Adult Division Best Shot participant was Travis Schleusner and our Youth Best Shot participant was Hadley Larkin. Each contestant was asked 2 ag related questions for the chance to win $100. For every correct answer, the closer to the basket each person got to shoot for the prize money.

Hadley made her shot and won her $100! Travis missed, so the money was then donated to GHV’s FFA Chapter.
