Caring Community Criminals line up to support programs for local kids

Generous people across Murray County are going to jail for the benefit of our youngest citizens. The Early Childhood Initiative’s Jail & Bail fundraiser will take place on the courthouse lawn the opening day of the Murray County Fair on Wednesday, August 15th, from 2:00 until 7:00 p.m.

Our 2018 “inmates” include candidates for District 3 County Commissioner Sarah Rylersdam,  Dennis Welgraven, and Casey Gass (Tim Gass), County Sheriff candidate Jeremy Steinle, Kim Holm & Riley Engbarth representing State Farm, Trish Grieme representing the Slayton Public Library, Jackie Linder on behalf of the Slayton Presbyterian Church, Kim Schreier, Marilyn Carlson, Gail Johnson representing the Daycare Association, David Hollis, Ruth Hoyme, Chris Usher on behalf of the Murray County Government Center, Larisa & Justin Smith, Pam Marshall, Dane Hanson, Peter Beerman, and Todd Burlingame. A competition is also heating up between area fire departments: Shawn Nelson will be jailed on behalf of The Slayton Fire Department, Dave Baumhoefner will serve time for The Fulda Fire Department, and a member of the Currie Fire Department will also be incarcerated. Additional volunteers are being added to this list daily, and the Murray County ECI would love to hear from you!
