Moe, Hinthorn win Fry Foundation tourney
 |
| Fry Foundation President Linda Hiatt not only helped organize the tournament, she didn't do bad competing in it, either! |
“We are very pleased with the large turn-out for the community fund-raiser supporting Boundary Community Hospital” said Marcia Morman, Community Relations Coordinator for Boundary Community Hospital. “The Fry Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament is one of Fry Foundation’s main fund-raising events of the year. Linda Hiatt, President of Fry Foundation, pulled off another great day of golfing—even arranging for a sunny day!”
Golfing began at 1 p.m. with information of how to win a prize at each hole. Awards and a fantastic steak dinner catered by Mirror Lake Golf Course followed the 18-hole contest. Players competed in two-person teams.

| Bonners Ferry City Councilman Tom Mayo didn't get into the winner's bracket, but he had a great time staying out of it. |
A total of $4,500 was raised.
Jeffrey Perkins, COO of Boundary Community Hospital and co-chairman of the Golf Tournament said, “The community support was overwhelming. We had a record number of golfers. Many people invited friends from all over -- our farthest-away visitors were from Minden, Nevada, and the donations of gifts for prizes were absolutely fantastic. This was our fourth year and we are looking forward to doing it again next year.”
J.B.’s Les Schwab and Riverside Auto Center gave a re-usable water bottle to all participants. Generous prizes were given by Boundary Tractor, Chic-n-Chop, Dixon Golf, Edward Jones Investments, Gift Gallery, Inland Northwest Blood Mobile, Kootenai River Brewery, Moose Valley Farms, Performance Off-Road, Ralph Lotspeich Golf Lessons, Silverwood Theme Parks, Spokane Chiefs Hockey, Spokane Indians Baseball, and Sugar Plum Floral.
Riverside Auto Center was standing by with a shiny 2011 Jeep Compass Limited SUV for the lucky golfer who could sink the golf ball into hole #8 with one shot, and a hole-in-one on the 17th hole would have won a $500 Visa Card, also from Riverside Auto Center. In spite of valiant attempts, no golfer was able to produce that lucky shot.
The Eagle Sponsor was Yellowstone Insurance Exchange, Birdie Sponsor was Idaho Forest Products, Par Sponsors were Panhandle State Bank, and JB’s Les Schwab Tires, and Bogie Sponsors were Community Title, LLC, Echo Springs Transition Study Center, Eldon and Annie Koon, Gardiner Prime Angus Beef Ranch, and Super One Foods.
