Three Area Communities Golfing For A Great Cause Friday

A long-time tradition will be taking place on Friday, July 8, as community members from Manning, Manilla and Templeton will get together to raise money for their local volunteer fire departments. For the past nine years, Kirk Huehn, owner of the State Farm Agency in Manning, with the help of his staff, has been organizing the event. He said this has always been a popular outing, and this year, there was a waiting list for teams.

There is no contingency plan for inclement weather, but Huehn said there has only been one year that the golf tournament has been rained out since his team has taken over the organization. Even then, he said the generosity of the golfers and sponsors was a testament to just how important this cause is.

All of the department members are very appreciative of the assistance and in the last several years, Huehn said they are seeing more past and current firefighters on the course. Donations are what drive the event to allow for more proceeds to go directly to the departments, including a lunch that is completely donated by Larry and Sue Stangl. Huehn added that they will continue to take donations in until about a week after the golf outing.

Huehn added his involvement with this event opened his eyes to what it takes for these departments to protect their communities.

The golfing will get underway around noon at the Manning Manilla Golf Course and will be done around 5:30 or 6 p.m. and the teams will head to the clubhouse for prizes. The public is invited to join them at that time to relax and let the men and women of the volunteer fire departments know they appreciate they work they do.
