Flint Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company recently completed its 50th annual carnival, which shattered fund-raising records of recent years.

Nancy Jones outdid herself with truck raffle ticket sales, bringing in approximately $19,000, all while carrying her own heavy load - a task to which she has arisen for years and years. Settle’s Garage once again provided all raffle tickets. Dale Welch donated a fine Angus heifer which brought in hundreds of dollars in raffle ticket sales.
