- **Event Name**: Keeping the Faith and Helping Where Help is Needed
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: There is a young minister from Lenoir, named Rev. Steve Matthews who is an amazing man and who belongs on a poster for Never Giving up and for Keeping the Faith. Infected several months ago with a flesh eating bacteria, he had some serious amputations that included his arm, his feet and parts of his fingers on the remaining hand. His kidneys have also been in jeopardy.  It is a miracle that he survived and it is a  miracle to see how far he has come. With a determined and loving wife by his side (Dawn) and with their strong faith in God, they are looking ahead.
Their medical bills are sky high,, his prosthetics will be expensive and their home is going to have to have a make over to accommodate his needs.
On May 16th at noon there will be a day of music and  also food for sale to help them with these expenses. This is not a  "buy-a-ticket" day....it is a donation day. Bring your chairs and donations to Whippoorwill Academy and Village.  Right now we have these musicians lined up to perform:  Tim Hall and Buffalo County; Rob McHale (who canceled reservations to Yellowstone National Park to help); and the Wilkes Record Players. If you are a musician and would like to be a part of this event, please send us a message, the name of your group and what type of music you play  Artists are donating artwork to raffle. The late Edith Carter would be so happy to see that the first time her new barn will be used it will be used to help someone in need.
Remember:  Saturday, May 16th at noon . Parking is free.
