Residents have another opportunity to help a local firefighter battling cancer this upcoming weekend.
A special car wash is taking place at Sommers Auto Center, 2026 West Sixth, from 1-3 pm Saturday. A freewill donation will be accepted. Cash or checks — not online payments — will be allowed.
On KVOE’s Morning Show recently, Lyon County Sgt. Zach Shafer said organizers wanted to try something different as a fundraiser.
The firefighter’s name has not been divulged. Emporia Fire Capt. Greg Davis says the firefighter is handling treatments well.
Fundraising totals from a barbecue meal fundraiser last month have not been announced, but the meal ran out of the pulled pork main course.
