All photos by Harold Coggins/Advance-Monticellonian READY TO BE AUCTIONED One of the loads of trucks sits outside Pauline Baptist Church Saturday as the Drew County Log A Load for Kids annual banquet prepared to begin. As usual, the building was near capacity as Monticel- lonians and Southeast Arkansans turned out to help The Natural State’s Children’s Miracle Network hospital, Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Although totals for the night are yet to be determined—donations can still be made by getting in touch with any Drew County LAL committee member ad are very much still be solicited—it’s a sure bet that Drew County exceeded the $1.5 million mark in giving since 1993. Arkansas’ largest Log A Load chapter in terms of raising money, Drew County annually gives more than many entire states to the CMN cause. The pictures below show the ever-growing cache of auction items, both live and silent, as well as the overfl ow crowd in attendance.
