Eudora Boy Scout Troop 64 provided the opening flag ceremony at the Oct. 1 Eudorafest, and then worked with the Lions Club to provide fun for the children who attended the festival. The Scouts provided several test-of-skill games and a fun fishing event. In the fishing event, the children were given a chance to fish and catch a prize. Another game featured bowling while using a softball supported by a rope attached to the top of the event structure. If a spare was bowled, the bowler won a bag of chips or a candy bar; for a strike, they won either a bag of chips, a candy bar, or a bottle of pop. Assisting Scouts were Nathan Bradley, Connor Bradley, Steven Wimmer, Patrick Bradley, Dylan Hopson, Dakota Coble, Hunter Darling and Alex Whitten. Assisting adults were Glenn Jackson, Damon Bradley, John Scott, Roy Wimmer, Rodney Coble and Jim Guy.
