On August 5th, 2009 the Bennington Community Foundation held its 9th annual golf tournament at Stone Creek Golf Course. There were over 100 participants who competed in three flights. A great time was had by all and over $7000 was raised to put back into the Bennington community. Plans are being made for the 2010 outing which should be bigger and better than before. This year’s tourney will be held Saturday July 17th, at Pacific Springs with a 2pm shotgun start. Thanks to all who participated!
