The Gregg Williams Tiger Golf Classic has quickly become a favorite community celebration in Excelsior Springs. This year the tournament will be held July 11, 2008. Activities surrounding the benefit golf tournament included the prestigious Tiger Hall of Fame banquet, and Tiger Class Reception, auctions and raffle, which create a three day events calendar packed with good food, friends, and entertainment. Last year's Tiger Hall of Fame inductees were Bonnie Casto, Greg Crowley, Mendy Edwards, John Shepherd and Tucker Woolsey. Bonnie Casto, longtime A.D. Administrative Assistant for the ESSD, was honored posthumous and her husband, Gary, accepted a check on behalf of the foundation for $10,000 in support of the Bonnie Casto Memorial Scholarship Fund. Greg Crowley is an All-State ESHS football player who went on to play for the KU Jayhawks. Mendy Edwards was recognized for her dedication as an Excelsior Springs athlete and coach of the Lady Tiger volleyball team. She is the first female athlete to be inducted. John Shepherd, retired teacher, coach and Athletic Director for the ESSD, was honored for his contribution to the community during his 37 year career. Tucker Woosley was honored for his demonstration of leadership through his integrity, fair play, and respect for others displayed through his athletic career. Attendees of the V.I.P. Reception enjoyed a roasted hog banquet dinner, held in the Grand Ball Room of the Elms Hotel, right. Below left, Carolyn Vogler and Ted Hoffman provided music for several events.
