Three young men from Fayette County are looking to achieve the goal of becoming
World Champions, but to do that they will have to travel to Huelva, Spain.
Jacob Little, age 10, is a blue belt, Justin Franklin, age 14, is a junior black
belt, and Brendan Nabors, age 14, is a red belt. The trio are all members of
the WKA USA Karate Team and have their sights set on bringing home the gold
from the World Championship competition set for Oct. 25 - Nov. 3. All three are
point fighters, with Justin also participating in continuous fighting
competition.
In order to travel to Spain, the group is in need of funding and is recruiting
the help of their community.
There are two fund raisers being held for the team including a Swamp John’s dinner and Krispy Kreme doughnut sale.
To order doughnuts or purchase tickets for the Swamp Johns dinner go by Anderson
Hardware or Becky’s Beauty Shop.
The doughnuts are $5 per dozen with a delivery date of Aug. 7. The Swamp Johns
dinner tickets are $10 each and will be available July 16 from 4 p.m. until 7
p.m. at the Walmart parking lot in Fayette. You must have a ticket to receive
your meal.
