CRESTVIEW — Dwight Baggett is the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce’s latest “Let it Ride” cash prize winner.

Sponsors CCB Community Bank, Community Bank, Eglin Federal Credit Union, First NBC Bank, and the Okaloosa County Teachers Federal Credit Union monthly contribute to the “Let it Ride” prize, which grew to $2,500 for December’s chamber networking breakfast.

Each month, a winner is drawn from the chamber’s membership pool. The winner must be present at the breakfast meeting to claim winnings. If that member is not present, the chamber will “Let it Ride." This month's prize money had accumulated since March 2015, when the last winner was drawn.

“For December, we kept drawing names until we had a winner … Dwight Baggett, who won the $2,500 for Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church,” Sandra Wilson, the chamber’s membership and events coordinator, said.

The money will benefit the church, whose congregation has 125 to 150 people.
