- Lake Country Neighbors is an organization of women who make it their mission to help people from all walks of life in Rains and Wood County. These gals noticed that the Scouts in Rains County didn't have proper uniforms, camping gear or even enough money to attend Boy Scout camp, so they partnered with the troop leader Gene Carista and his young men this year. They decided to help the Scouts earn badges through community service and worked with them to make enough money to meet their needs. What a great way to help kids help themselves!
- So come on out for HOGATAR, a Pig Pickin' event, and help the Boy Scouts of Rains County while enjoying family fun and good food!
