Ethan Bohmke, of Cassville, stretches to play a ball during the second annual Cassville Foundation Pickleball Tournament on Saturday. The two-day event featured singles and doubles tournaments, with 46 participants playing 150 games and raising $6,000. Funds benefit the Cassville Community Foundation, which awards grants to local non-profits.
The Second Annual Pullin’ for the People truck and tractor pull was held on Saturday at the Stumpff Family Event Center in Cassville. The approximately $7,500 in funds raised at the event were donated to Kooper Tuten, a local child in remission from a Leukemia diagnosis when he was a year old.
Starting today (Wednesday), 70 McDonald’s Restaurants in the Ozarks — including Cassville — will begin encouraging customers to support Springfield’s two Ronald McDonald Houses by donating $1, $5 or $20 and adopting a heart. With every heart adopted, the contributor will have an opportunity to enter a social media contest holding their signed heart with the message “I shared my heart #forRMHCozarks” for a chance to win one of four $250 Great Southern MasterCard gift cards.
