High Points of the Valley
* Participants in this year’s Sour Mash Golf Tournament didn’t let high temperatures stop them from enjoying the day as they raised funds for the United Way Alliance of the Mid-Ohio Valley and the Holmes R. “Butch” Shaver Memorial Fund administered by the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation. PGA Tour Professional Derek Lamely certainly enjoyed the event, saying of his decision to participate, “It was like a no-brainer. If invited back (next year), I’ll be here.” A range of sponsors, including platinum sponsors Richard and Liza Adams, Goodwill Industries of the Kanawha Valley and Tri-State Roofing and Sheet Metal, helped make the event happen. That’s a big help, because as United Way Executive Director Stacy Decicco pointed out, “Costs have gone up.” Thank you then, to all the sponsors and participants who helped make this wonderful tradition another great day in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
