In partnership with Justin Brands in Cassville, Cassville High School has launched a "boot out bullying" campaign that will run June 8-October 27.

Justin Brands has generously provided an adult size pair of "bent rail" boots that will be manufactured at the Cassville plant. CHS Interact members will be selling chances to win the boots at the Rotary Club Rodeo, CHS fall events and CHS home football games.

The winner of the boots will have the opportunity to select the adult boot design of their choice from a select Justin Boots catalog. 

Tickets are $1 for one chance to win or $5 for seven chances to win. All proceeds will be used for anti-bullying education such as speakers, classroom projects and curriculum. 

Drawing will be held at the Cassville Area Chamber of Commerce Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, October 27. Winner does not have to be present to win.
