The Highland County Friends of NRA's 20th annual fundraising banquet was held on Saturday, May 24 at Creekview Barn in Leesburg.

According to event chairman Scott Lewis, 250 attendees helped the organization raise $48,000, with a net profit of $15,000.

"We were very happy with the results and were finally able to give something nice back to the community for all their support for the past 20 years," Lewis said.

Lewis also said that "Duck Dynasty" star John Godwin, who signed autographs and spoke at the event, was popular with the crowd.

"It appeared that everybody had a great time, and John Godwin did a wonderful job and stayed the entire banquet to spend time with the kids," Lewis said.
