Randy Watkins Wins Zero-Turn Mower Raffle Benefiting Local Scholarships

The Rolla Chamber Foundation is excited to announce Randy Watkins of Rolla, Missouri, as the winner of the zero-turn mower raffle. The raffle drawing took place during the Show Me Scholars & Tech Masters Luncheon on April 16, 2025.
 
Thanks to the generous donation of the Spartan Zero-Turn Mower from First State Community Bank and Dickey Bub Farm & Home, and the incredible support from the community, the raffle raised over $10,000 in ticket sales. These funds go directly toward scholarships for students in the Show Me Scholars & Tech Masters program.
 
“We are incredibly grateful to First State Community Bank and Dickey Bub Farm & Home for not only donating the mower, but also for their help in promoting the raffle and the Show Me Scholars & Tech Masters program,” said Stevie Kearse, Executive Director of the Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce. “Their support, and the support from everyone who purchased a ticket, helped us make sure that every graduating Show Me Scholar & Tech Master student received a $1,000 scholarship this year.”
 
Congratulations again to Randy Watkins and thank you to our generous donors and the entire community for investing in the future of Rolla’s students!
