There will be a barbecue benefit for Joey Metcalf on Saturday, Dec. 12 starting at 11 a.m. at 322 E. Mills St., Columbus. Please come out and show your support. Joey has survived his third surgery in his fight against cancer. Help us toward the next step in his journey to being cancer-free. Help us have a huge turnout for this event to show this family that as a community we still know how to come together for one of our own. Enjoy auctions, raffles a classic car show, live entertainment and more. If you cannot make it but would like to contribute to the cause, checks can be made out to Joey Metcalf and mailed to 71 Beechwood Dr., Columbus, NC 28722. Call 674-6784 for information.
