The Tarkio Booster Club is hosting a Slam Dunk/3-Point Shootout Contest Sunday, March 10, at 5:00 p.m. (Registration is from 4:30-5:00 p.m.) at the Tarkio Activity Center (TAC). The contest is $5 per contestant. Attendance is free for those just watching the festivities.

Proceeds will go toward the purchase of the American Flag for the TAC that will be dedicated in Rick Martin’s memory. The fundraising goal is $7,500 and nearly two-thirds has been raised so far (with some of the funds coming from the Rick Martin Memorial Fund that was set up to support East Atchison athletics). If you would like to donate toward the flag fund and can not attend the event, donations can be dropped off at the Flower Mill in Tarkio or mailed to Barb Lee at 908 College Street, Tarkio, MO 64491.
