Team members from the Hugg & Hall Equipment Company (Hugg & Hall) Jonesboro branch recently participated in a skeet shooting event to benefit the John Herman Hickman Foundation. The event was hosted by Peco Foods and took place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 27 at the Paul H. “Rocky” Willmuth Shooting Sports Complex in Batesville, Ark. Hugg & Hall service, rental and parts team members came together to support the fun-filled event benefiting a great cause.
As well as participating, Hugg & Hall also sponsored a team from the Lyon College Shooting Sports Program who ultimately earned first place. The Lyon College team included Hayden Ekenes, Tyler Vanlandingham, Blake Carr, Michael Rodgers and Nick Beausoleil. The Hugg & Hall team took third place in the competition and included Derrick King, Frank Thatcher, Eric Tacker, Jason Hart and customers Jacob and Blaine Nunn of Nunn Construction.
The John Herman Hickman Foundation is a charitable nonprofit organization established in 2011. The foundation is named in honor of the founder of Peco Foods who led the company for nearly 50 years. The goals of the organization are to provide aid to victims of catastrophic natural disasters in the region and to provide scholarships to the lineal descendants of Peco Foods employees and growers. The organization also grants funds to other charitable causes of interest to the communities Peco Foods serves. The mission of the John Herman Hickman Foundation is to support the employees, families and communities associated with the company.
The Hugg & Hall Jonesboro team was thrilled to be a part of such a great event and thanks Peco Foods for the invitation!
