Okolona firefighters, from left, Sgt. Robb Sheffer, Firefighter Bill Thomas and Firefighter Jeffrey Carlson collected donations Saturday for the Crusade at Outer Loop and Preston Highway. Fire department crews in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, along with their families and friends, took to the streets the past two weekends, hoping to add to the collection.

Grant Logsdon was assisted by his sister, Rhonda Logsdon, in collecting for the WHAS Crusade for Children on Outer Loop.
