In addition to the round of golf, participants also enjoyed a banquet dinner, prize drawings, commemorative golf journals, and a boxed lunch.

There were six contest holes and a putting contest at the outing as well. At hole six, Wally Phillips from Snyder Brothers Inc. won the closest to the pin contest, at seven, Josh Phillips won the longest drive contest, at eight, Bill Weborg from R.W.
