Train for Tebbetts
The miniature train in Soden’s Grove will run on Sunday to benefit the Dan Tebbetts Medical Fund.
According to an announcement from Billy Christian of the Sertoma Club, club members will run the train from 1 to 6 p.m. Donations only will be accepted for rides, and all money collected will be turned over to the Tebbetts fund.
Friends of Tebbetts will be on hand to sell tickets for drawings for a 1967 Camaro and a 1962 Geo Metro convertible. Both vehicles are expected to be on display.
