Sunday, July 31, 2005
It's big, it floats and it now belongs to Linda Ballard. Ballard won an 18-foot Bass Pro Suntracker Party Barge by entering a fund-raising contest at the Nevada O'Reilly Auto Parts store on Austin. She and her husband Harold "Junior" Ballard took possession of the pontoon boat Friday in the O'Reilly parking lot with representatives from the Developmental Center of the Ozarks, the organization that benefited from the fund-raiser, and O'Reilly present.
