Among the volunteers were Tom and Cathy Swepston from Habitat for Humanity. As guests entered the auditorium, Tom and Cathy were bright and smiley while they sold 50/50 tickets. Cathy shared that this is their second-year volunteering, and they truly enjoy seeing everyone.
Before taking the stage, Chillicothe born and raised, Gage Chaney was energetic and ready to play with his band, Sugarloaf Shakedown.
