Every year at the COTR Barbecue Cook-Off, there’s a “People’s Choice” Award given to the team with the most donations in their bucket by the end of the night. It’s all in good fun, and the best part? The proceeds always go to a great cause. Westside Elementary’s special needs department was chosen as the recipient this year, and we were awarded over $1,700! Thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, we’ll be able to purchase new sensory items for our students. We’re so thankful to live in a place like Demopolis, where kindness and support make a real difference. Pictured: Principal Smith, Dee Wright and Paul Willingham
