About 50 people braved the heat of August to join the $10 Club and HSF for our Summer Roundup and Hoedown Sunday, August 29 on the banks of the Little River.

The fundraiser helped raise money for HSF’s Hope and Hearing Program, a new program dedicated to providing auditory processing disorder evaluations, Audiological evaluations and newborn hearing screenings for children on TennCare. Proceeds from the event will help the Hearing and Speech Foundation support audiological testing for 30 children or newborns on TennCare. Thank you to all who helped make it a success!

At the Event
The winners of the Best Skeet-Shooter competition are Lea Anne Law, Best Female; and Rick Hirche, Best Male.

Winners of the Best Pie Contest, decided by Pistol Creek, official pie judges for the contest, include the following:
1st Place - Deb Husk for her Cherry Pie
2nd Place - Susan Hirche for her Apple Crisp Pie
3rd Place - Susan Hirche for her Triple Berry Pie

The band was also blown away with David Rader's key lime pie and awarded a special category of "Getting it Exactly Right."

Entertainment was provided by Pistol Creek Catch of the Day, Tennessee's oldest "Acoustelectric Amerirockagrassabilly" Quartet. Playing mainly in the Maryville/Knoxville areas, these guys bring a new spin on many traditional favorites, playing everything from Elvis and Cash to Hank and Jerry Lee. Their high energy stage show and acrobatics is a sight not to be missed.
