Car cruise helps cancer victim

A benefit car cruise was held Saturday at Troxell's Produce and Pumpkin Patch in Lehighton. The event was organized by the North Side Cruizers and the owners of Troxell's to benefit Jessyca Fredericks, who is battling breast cancer. Food vendors and Troxell's donated a portion of the day's sales to help pay for Fredericks' medical expenses. Also helping out were the Carbon County 4H Livestock Club, Mountain Spring Stables, and friends and neighbors of Troxell Farm. While guests walked among antique and classic cars it was a great day for kids to play in the corn box.
