Roast fundraiser will feature retired justice
By Rupert Howell
Retired state Supreme Court Justice George C. Carlson is the object of this year’s banquet roast sponsored jointly by Panola County Community Foundation and South Panola Athletic Foundation.
The event is scheduled for Valentine’s Day, February 14 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Batesville National Guard Armory.
Justice Carlson, who just recently retired this year, also serves as Voice of South Panola Tiger football, his labor of love. A lineup of roasters including former coaches and jurists are eagerly accepting invitations to take verbal jabs and recall interesting encounters not often told of the usually mild-mannnered Carlson.
Tickets are available at First Security Bank, Bancorp South, The Panolian, Panola Partnership and Pride Hyundai.
The annual event is the Community Foundation’s largest fundraiser while also raising funds for the Athletic Foundation to aid South Panola programs.
VIP tables and half tables are also available. To reserve tables and tickets call Amy at 563-5464.
