A grassroots fundraiser has been scheduled in support of Dr. Sam Alexander, a longtime Cedar County resident and candidate for Missouri Senate District 28.

The event will be hosted by Cheryl and Kenneth Thornton and is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, at Camp Galilee, 899 East Martin Street in El Dorado Springs. Dinner will be catered by Hillbilly Express, offering a choice of brisket or smoked chicken with cheesy potatoes, seasoned green beans, homemade rolls, and pumpkin pie.
