The second annual “Brody’s Beach Blast” was held at the Howard City Pool last Saturday.  The day of fun was held in memory of 8-year-old Brody Hurt who died in November 2008 of neuroblastoma.  His parents, Shawn and Carey Hurt and sister, Kylie live in Severy. Events included a coed sand volleyball tournament, 3-on-3 basketball, a water carnival and a homerun derby. A homerun derby was held south of the pool during the afternoon, as well as a swim meet with Howard hosting Fredonia.  Photo by Laura Fry
