The SELMA TIMES JOURNAL HUNT has a winner
Published Monday, June 29, 2009
Lenae Hatfield is $1,000 better off today.
She unearthed The Selma Times-Journal's treasure chest from its secret spot near a tree on King's Bend Road early Sunday. They had search the area on Friday, but came up empty-handed.
“We were checking signs and posts, but didn’t think to check trees,” said Hatfield.
She and her family — husband, Timmy, and children, Blake and Britney — joined a line of cars at the Selma Times-Journal building at around 11:55 p.m. Saturday evening for the last clue of the contest.
When the paper hit the stands, there was a mad rush to get the treasure.
Timmy Hatfield held the flashlight while Lenae Hatfield and the children searched. Blake Hatfield unearthed the box around 1:45 a.m.
With an extra $1,000 in hand, the Hatfields already have plans for their new found fortune.

Way to go Ya'll. I'm so glad someone found it that can really use it. Praise the Lord. I know ya'll are thanking God for the blessings he has given you. By the way the kids did an excellent job Father's Day with their song. I think it sent a message to lots of Fathers that kids are always watching what they do not just what they say. God bless ya'll. Don't forget to give God His 10% of your blessing.

This sounds like something my Momma would have done with us when I was a child. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I remember her deciding at 8:00 at night that we would go to the beach the next day. We would be so excited, running around packing and loading the car late into the night. We would barely sleep then get on the road the next morning. Great memories!

HEY pleasureme - learn to read a thread before calling someone out for something they didn't do. Congrats to the Hatfields, parents and kids on doing this as a family.
