HUMBOLDT — Saturday night was filled with emotion for Ava North.

The fourth-grader at Humboldt Elementary tied with Landen Wright, a pre-schooler, for most raffle ticket sales for the HES annual carnival at $630 each. Their efforts won each an iPad.

When the announcement was made in the Humboldt Fieldhouse, Ava and her mother, Gina, dutifully trotted upstairs to the mezzanine to collect her prize.

The fun was just starting.

With iPad in hand, Ava, 9, on instructions from her mother, touched a couple of icons and there was her father, Brandon, whom she hadn’t seen in four months. He is deployed with the U.S. Army in Kuwait.
