Linn survived the accident, but he’s still healing.

There will be a silent auction and bake sale around 7 p.m. Some of the items being auctioned off are: Peg Perego tractor and trailer, Indiana Beach Fun Day Tickets, Komet’s hockey tickets, FireKeepers Casino giftcard, Sweetwater electric guitar and much more! Last minute items may be donated by calling Tylette Watmough at (574) 933-4276.
