“BARTON DYNASTY: Hunting for Bucks” is the theme for the 36^th Annual SWAG�ϼ� Foundation Big Benefit Auction, which this year’s honorary co-chairs, Toby and Kristy Hogan, find rather fitting as the owners of the hunting service, “Central Kansas Whitetails.” Only the “bucks” being hunted in this case are green, have presidents’ faces on them and they help local students pay tuition at SWAG�ϼ�.
