Garrettsville to
rock to rebuild town
Tom Liggett, son of the late Harry Liggett, BJ Alums founder, is getting ready to perform with his band mates April 26 at the Garrettsville Fire Rock Relief benefit concert.
There will be eight bands, starting at noon and running till 9 p.m. Tom's mates think they'll hit the stage about 7:45 on that Saturday.
The concert will benefit the 13 Garrettsville businesses hit by the March 22 fire that wiped out an entire block of Main Street. All the proceeds of the Garrettsville fundraising, under guidance of the Garrettsville Chamber of Commerce, will go into the Garrettsville Strong account at the Middlefield Bank in Garrettsville.
So have and will such fundraisers as T-shirt sales, haircuts/pedicures, fish frys, ribbons, beer-brewing, computer repairs, spaghetti dinners and chocolatiers.
G-Plex donated the use of its site at 10340 Industrial Street in Garrettsville for the benefit concert. Admission is $10.
The crowd will bring blankets and lawn chairs. There will be refreshments and raffles. And plenty of rocking and rolling.
Tom Liggett is Community Pregnancy Center director of development and a graduate of Hoban High and the University of Akron.
