Carter s Jewel Chest announces winner of its Red White & Blue pendant
Shena Loftis of Thornfield, Missouri, was the 2021 winner of the Carter’s Jewel Chest Jewels For You pendant. She presented the winning ticket June 28.
Loftis, a branch manager at Bank OZK in Mountain Home, received a one-carat total weight diamond from Facet Barcelona.
“I was really surprised,” Loftis said.
Carter’s Jewel Chest sold 10,000 tickets for its Red White & Blue Festival fundraiser this year and raised more than $8,700 that will go toward next year s festivities.
The Carter’s have been fundraising for the festival since 2005 after T.C. Carter came up with the idea to have local banks compete against each other when fundraising for the festival. Seventeen banks participated in this year’s fundraising event for the festival.
