Fry
Foundation President Linda Hiatt not
only helped organize the tournament, she
didn't do bad competing in it, either! |
Sixty-four golfers, some in full golf regalia,
brought sunglasses, sun-block, clubs,
aspirations of winning the golf tournament, and
possibly winning a car, to the Mirror Lake Golf
Course in Bonners Ferry, Friday, June 15.
“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.

City Councilman Tom Mayo didn't get into
the winner's bracket, but he had a great
time staying out of it. |
Ed Moe and Travis Hinthorn were overall winners,
and they will be flying high when Adventurist
Air flies them over the mouth of Hell’s Canyon
in a hot-air balloon for 90 minutes viewing
historical Lewis and Clark lands -- a prize
donated by Adventurist Air worth $399.
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
