In memory and thanks

Sheriff Jeff Hodge accepts a check for $7500 on behalf of the Crook County Search and Rescue from the North East Wyoming Walleye Association (NEWWA). This donation comes in the names of Jason Otto and Bruce Lang. In March, the NEWWA group held a fundraising event for these two men and decided they wanted a portion to go to search and rescue. According to Kelly, the team, "Went above and beyond in the rescue of our dear friends. Jeff Hodge will decide where he would like the funds to be spent. Other money raised at this fundraiser also went to kids' day, a very near and dear event for Jason and Bruce. They were always at it. Never missed it and worked close with the kids."
