In celebration of Crothersville History Month, there will be a fundraiser at Hamacher Hall on Friday, April 20, at 6 p.m., featuring a dinner and musical entertainment.
Following dinner, Larry Wayt, a folk singer who plays simple acoustic music and sings songs of the cowboys, the Civil War, Appalachia, gospel, railroad, and is a teller of tales.
