The DeKalb County Fair Association and the Alexandria Lion’s Club are sponsoring a benefit Tractor Pull for Carter Hale in his battle against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma this Saturday, October 19 at the DeKalb County Fairgrounds.
“Pulling for Carter” kicks off at 5 p.m. and all proceeds will go toward Carter’s medical expenses. The cost for admission is $10 and its free to children ages 5 and younger. The Lion’s Club will be serving up their famous BBQ along with a full concession menu from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m. Even if you’re not into the Tractor Pull, stop by the AG Center Building for a BBQ plate and help support Carter and his family.
“Carter and his family are special to our community, the Lions Club, and the Fair Association. Since June, Carter has been a true warrior, facing chemo with incredible strength and positivity. Now, its our turn to pull together and show him how much we care,” said Matt Boss, DeKalb County Fair President.
