The Central Kansas Sidewiders Casino Night benefit fund raiser raised $4,300 for United Way of Barton County. The casino night was a success and raised more funds than last year. Julie Bugner-Smith, executive director United Way of Barton County, said everyone who attended had a great time, the prizes were outstanding and she can’t wait until next year. Jan Westfall won the Grand Prize flat screen TV.
