PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY MARVIN HAMILTON Ben and Kaylie Boykin and their children, Allie, Austin and Aiden, are all smiles after winning Brando, a heavy-duty rocking horse. Brando brings in the bucks for area foster families HERMISTON HERALD A Kennewick family won a heavy-duty spring rocking horse created to raise money for the Department of Human Services Child Wel- fare program’s foster parent and child fund in Umatilla County. A total of $863 was raised through the effort. The money will be used by DHS for area foster families. Ben and Kaylie Boykin’s daughter insisted the family purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win Brando after seeing it on display during the Umatilla County Fair. The 4-foot long metal work and fabricated spring horse was created by Marvin Ham- ilton and Jason Bremner, both DHS employees. The spring was donated by Hag- erman Inc. of Umatilla. With luck on their side, Judge Eva Temple pulled the Boykin’s ticket out of a hat during the drawing, which was held Sept. 14 after the Westward Ho! Parade in Pendleton. Allie, Austin and Aiden Boykin, along with children in Boykin’s day- care will enjoy playing on Brando, said Kaylie, who used to live in Pendleton. Now Accepting Residents WE HEAR YOU!
