A restored 1960s AMF pedal car and fire extinguisher will be raffled—benefiting firefighting families affected by the Canfield Mountain incident.

Community members will join the third annual Dustin Ard Commemorative Steel Competition on August 24 at Fernan Rod and Gun Club from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to support local veterans and assist the Ard family while honoring Sgt. 1st Class Dustin Ard (a Green Beret who died from combat wounds in Afghanistan in 2019).
