Goodrich-A canned food drive turned into a battle of the sexes at Lakeview Community Church.
The food drive was part of the church’s Vacation Bible School, which took place June 18-22.
Ultimately, the girls prevailed, besting the boys with a total of 213 canned goods to their 158.
Food was delivered to the Ortonville Community Emergency Fund (OCEF) and Davison’s Outreach East on June 25.
Vacation Bible School Coordinator Jana Waters said the prize for the winning team was control over a slingshot during a water balloon fight.
