Local boy on
America’s Funniest
Home Videos
COMBINE - Those watch-
ing America’s Funniest Videos
(AFV) Sunday night got to see
Combine second grader, Con-
ner Zimmerman, make his tele-
vision debut.
Fast Halloween Conner
decided he wanted dress as a
cowboy riding an ostrich when
he attended the Central Baptisl
Church Fall Festival. When
Conner picked up a hula-hoop,
his mother Ashley started re-
cording. Ashley shared the
video with her friends whc
suggested that it could make
it on AFV, so she submitted it.
And sure enough, it made it on
the show Sunday as “A momenl
with a hula-hooping boy riding
an ostrich.”
Conner is the son of Phil-
lip and Ashley Zimmerman
and the grandson of Outdoor
Editor, Fuke Clayton, all ol
Combine.
