Golf Outing Was Smashing Success |
|
 After a short, 30 minute rain delay the Pontiac Chamber golf outing was a smashing success.
The day was filled with fun games such as marshmallow golf, sponsored by Pontiac RV, and the fastest hole, sponsored by CIRBN.
The top team of the day from the Elks Lodge won the Superior Award, sponsored by Superior Landscaping. And the top teams shouldn't have all the fun...the worst team of the day won the
Toilet Bowl Award, sponsored by Popejoy.
Thanks to Republic Services for being our beverage sponsors throughout the day. And a special thanks to Caterpillar for being cart sponsor.
The event would not be a success without all of our sponsors, volunteers and donors.
