We would like to thank everyone who participated, donated and came out for the 4th annual Richard Jordan Celebrity Weekend with the Pros June 12 and 13 at St. John Stadium in Vian. Without everyone’s help, we could have not put on another successful event again this year.

To our wonderful volunteers: Luke Johnson, Brandt Brown, Sydney Remer and Austin White-who all volunteered on Friday to get everything together before the event and then came back on Saturday to help again; and to Saturday’s volunteers: Camille Carlton and members of the Vian High School cheerleading squad; Elsie Johnson and Raylena Worley; Carlotta Scarborough and Sumari Moon; Randy, Tammy and Jake Sandlin; Dennis, Tramera, Graylon, Whitt and Dreighton Fletcher; Kyla Walters and Anthony and Kyle England.
There were many parents who also helped at the carnival on Saturday, too, and even though we didn’t get all the names of everyone who pitched in, we are thankful to each of you for helping where help was needed.
Thanks again and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
