A new fishing tournament to benefit a local program for the holidays is two days away. The inaugural Shop with a Cop Fishing Derby is scheduled for Friday at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock.
Mountain Home School Resource Officer Zach Ables and Eric Stewart of Clay Maxey Chevrolet are future guests of the Talk of the Town to discuss this week’s event. Ables says the local Shop with a Cop program was started 10 years ago by the Mountain Home Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 45.

Checks should be made payable to “FOP #45.” Forms can be dropped off at Clay Maxey Chevrolet or emailed to estewart@claymaxeychevrolet.com.
