Auction raises $40,000

John Gerrells' granddaughter Katie Little and his great-grandson Blevins were among the many volunteers who helped during the fundraiser for Gerrells last Friday evening. The crowd gathered was in the neighborhood of 300 with standing room only and people actually eating out on the sidewalk when there were no tables available. Donations are still coming in, and for those unable to attend, donations can be made at Pinnacle Bank.
