This year, 38 youth participated in the events at The Hogan Tire Shootout held February 8, at the Millar Civic Center in Houlton. The event tests the skill of an individual in several competitive games.
The shootout was run by 11 volunteers. At this year’s event, prizes were awarded to each individual, as well as a grab bag for each child participating. Bill Higgins, co-owner of Hogan Tire, Inc, has been the contributing factor to the success of this event for years. The prizes awarded this year ranged from hats, T-shirts, sweat shirts, to hoods and team jerseys.
