Blood Drive For Deputy, Annual Walnut Hill VFD Catfish Fry Today

November 6, 2010

A blood drive will be held Saturday  in honor of wounded Deputy Jeremy Cassady, who was shot a week ago during a home invasion hostage situation in Pensacola.

The Northwest Florida Blood Services blood drive will take place from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. during the annual Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry at the Walnut Hill Fire Station on Highway 97.

Cassady, who remains in critical condition at Sacred Heart Hospital, has used well over 200 units of blood since Friday.

Catfish and chicken plates will be sold during the event. Each $7 plate will include catfish fillets or grilled chicken, hush puppies, baked beans, cole slaw, homemade bread and dessert. There will also be door prizes, with the drawing at 1 p.m. Baked goods will also be for sale.

All proceeds from the catfish fry benefit the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department.
