The burn victim who survived the Butch's Bar fire on February 22 continues to recover and will be honored at a benefit Saturday evening. According to manager Rick Hess, Gary McCoy, Sr.'s six-week recovery included an evening out last Friday to Samuelson Creek & Pub, where the Pasta Dinner Benefit will be held.
Hess and his wife Abby helped collect clothing for McCoy, his son Gary, Jr., and other fire victims who lost everything in the fire back in February. The Pasta Dinner Benefit, which includes a silent auction, will be from 4 pm until 7 pm Saturday, with all proceeds going towards McCoy's medical bills. Reservations are requested and take-out is available.
