Trudy Menzzennto of Randleman, NC was the winner of the kayak that was raffled off prior to the Inlet Frozen Fire and Lights fireworks display on Saturday, February 23.
The raffle was organized in memory of the late Kirsty Sutherland, with proceeds to benefit the Alexandra Sutherland Scholarship Fund.
Menzzennto said she received the winning ticket as a Christmas present from her sister, Barb Trevvett, an area property owner.
“Thank you so much to all who contributed to this fund to help Alex and to honor Kirsty’s memory, and to all of the volunteers and local establishments who helped to raise the $5,200 of funds to further Alex’s education.
This is an awesome community!” said Connie Perry, co-organizer of the raffle.
