Benefit for Johnnie B. McLain

A ranch sorting will be held Nov. 21 at Lonestar Cowboy Church, 4495 W. Highway 22, to benefit Johnnie B. McLain. A jackpot will take place at 5 p.m., with a drawpot at 7 p.m. There will also be a silent auction.

McLain was injured Oct. 31 when he was hit by a truck which left the roadway, while unloading a four-wheeler in Groesbeck. Both legs were shattered, he has endured three surgeries thus far, and is now on a ventilator.

As a farmer/rancher, being unable to work during his recovery will place a financial hardship on he and his family. As someone who was generally considered “the best around” at ranch sorting, all proceeds from the event will go to McLain.
