After guests enjoyed beach-themed dinner and desserts, catered by Golden Corral, the band led the crowd to the golf course with a rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In". After a countdown from the crowd, the Smithfield and Selma Fire Departments dropped buckets of numbered golf balls from the tops of their ladder trucks over the target.
Corina Knott announced the winning ball number, belonging to Robbie Parker of Mutual Builders, Inc., who won the grand prize of $5000 cash!
