  • Steve Merlo: Annual Sportsman's Night banquet draws 700-plus

    More than 700 people attended the 59th annual Sportsman's Night dinner and banquet last Tuesday evening, with lots of prizes, including 25 guns, given away through the various raffles and door prizes. But, on a sour note that marred an otherwise great evening of fun, two 15-foot-tall inflatable advertising displays, shaped like Budweiser beer bottles, mysteriously disappeared and need to be returned, practical joke or not, as soon as possible. The missing items are owned by Advance Beverage Co. and cost over $2,000 each. The bottles can be picked up or returned by Monday, November 23, no questions asked, prior to charges being filed with the Bakersfield Police or Kern County Sheriff's Departments. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of said displays needs to contact Jim Roberts at 661-805-5766.
