Small Town Taylorville's First Friday Cruise again drew big crowds to the Taylorville Square.   

Organizers had previously announced each month's cruise starting with the September First event, would help collect non-perishable food and monetary donations for the Taylorville Food Pantry.

Friday night's Cruise collected some $1400 in donations for the Food Pantry.

2 volunteers from the Food Pantry accepted the donation from Friday night's Cruise.   From the left:  Rich Payne, Vice President of Downtown Taylorville; Mayor Bruce Barry; Steve Craggs, President of Small Town Taylorville and Downtown Taylorville organizations; Linda and Harold Baldock, volunteers at the Taylorville Food Pantry.
