Mudbugs beat Kings, 4-H centennial fund gets $1,300
The 4-H centennial marketing fund received a $1,300 donation March 15 in a unique location -- on the ice, the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs hockey team ice. ReAzalia Allen, state 4-H secretary-treasurer, presented the check to Renee Castro, centennial coordinator, at 4-H Day at the Mudbugs.
The game was played at the CenturyTel Center in Bossier City. Almost 900 tickets for 4-H’ers were sold. At the tailgate party, guests consumed 90 pizzas, two cakes and 500 cups of punch. Joe Barrett coordinated the event and Laura Brumbaugh handled ticket and T-shirt sales, red with the centennial logo in white.
The game program included a salute to the 4-H Hall of Fame members from Northwest Louisiana. Nine 4-H’ers lined up on the ice to answer 4-H trivia questions correctly and inch up closer to find green pucks that indicated prizes. The 4 H’ers had to answer what the four H’s stand for, the year the organization was founded and how many countries have 4-H organizations.
Dwight Landreneau, associate vice chancellor, was trying to learn the Mudbugs cheers and children were doing the chicken dance and other crowd pleasers that take place during intermissions. The Mudbugs beat the Mississippi River Kings 3-0.
