The Rooks County Healthcare Foundation is hosting a charity golf tournament on Sept. 14 to help raise funds for the new Rehabilitation Center being built on to the north side of Rooks County Health Center.
Fairways For The Future is a three-person scramble that will be at the Rooks County Golf Course 5 miles north of Plainville.
The day will include an 18-hole tournament, lunch, whole-hog roast dinner, live music and silent auction. Cash prizes will be awarded, plus golfers can enter for a chance to snag $50,000 in the Hole in One Contest.
Solutions North Bank in Stockton is sponsoring the Hole-in-One contest and Palco 4-H student Jamie Keller is donating a market-weight hog that won a blue ribbon at the Rooks County Free Fair.
Registration fees are $225 for a team of three, which covers green fees, sack lunch, supper and entertainment.
For those who don’t play golf but want to join the party, a whole-hog roast dinner and music by local band Gypsy Road will be after the tournament. Tickets are available for $25 per person for those who wish to join in on the fun later in the day. Tickets for the after-tournament event can be purchased at Carmichael True Value and Ruder Oil in Plainville and Solutions North Bank in Stockton.

- 8 a.m.: Registration
- 9 a.m.: Shotgun Start
