March of Dimes has jail and bail

Local business leaders and citizens voluntarily spent time behind bars helping raise $6,000 during the annual March of Dimes Jail and Bail event. Proceeds from the event go towards funding programs and research of the March of Dimes.

On Oct. 13th, 30 “jailbirds” turned themselves in to a temporary jail set up at Grizzly’s Grill ‘N’ Saloon. After standing before a judge, getting fingerprinted and having mug shots taken, the jailbirds had one hour to call friends, family and co-workers to raise bail in the form of donations to the March of Dimes. The top fundraiser was Tricia Herzig of First Community Credit Union, who raised $780.
