April is Crothersville History Month.

In celebration, a fundraiser will be conducted at 6 p.m. Friday at Hamacher Hall, 111 E. Howard St., Crothersville. The dinner will feature a chicken breast, peas, parslied potatoes, biscuits and pie. The cost is $15 per person.

The entertainment will be provided by Larry Wayt, a folk singer who was born and raised in Freetown and now lives near Richmond.

Contributions are welcome and are tax-deductible. Funds raised are used for maintenance and improvements to the buildings. Hamacher Hall has a handicap-accessible ramp.
