The Gary Thompson Agency annual Hook & Ladder Golf Tournament was held on Thursday, August 27th at the Red Cloud Golf Course near Red Cloud, NE. In order to field a team in the 4-person scramble, at least one team member must be on their local fire department or local EMS department. The Gary Thompson Agency partners with Farmers Mutual of Nebraska, EMC Insurance Companies and Allied Insurance as corporate sponsors of this charity golf outing. Prize money is collected from these corporate sponsors and team entry fees as well as hole sponsorships from several other companies to allow 100% of the proceeds (minus golf course expenses) to be paid back to the participating teams. This year 26 teams participated in the golf tournament.
