He adds special thank-yous to the folks stepping up to help with the project.
The Way Christian Youth Center’s Carl Heckman says that funds will go toward paying for the newest building on their campus.
Sellars and Heckman thank sponsors Bank of Cadiz, Broadbent B&B Foods, Cayce Mill Supply, the City of Cadiz, Goodwin Funeral Home, Hancock’s Neighborhood Market, Hopkinsville Milling, Pennyrile Electric, Trigg County Public Schools, and WKDZ.Sellars adds that volunteers are still needed to help with the effort, especially regarding cleanup. Anyone willing to help, can call (270) 522-7066 and ask for Shari Littlejohn.
The biscuit will be cooked Saturday morning starting around 7:30, and are expected to serve it around 11:00.
