Scott McCoy is the Doggone Lucky Winner!
Scott McCoy of FMC Ice Sports was the winner of this year’s live auction item: a unique ice resurfacer dog house!
Tom Jordan of EZ Shed in Cheyenne, Wyo., created the dog house. Seven years ago, Jordan was approached by the
Cheyenne Kennel Club, inquiring if he would be interested in building a dog house for them to auction, with proceeds benefiting the local shelter and Black Dog Animal Rescue. He has been making themed dog houses ever since and donating them to good causes. Jordan has a son who plays hockey and a daughter who figure skates.
