  It was standing room only as hundreds of friends and family gathered this past Sunday at Charlie’s Bar and Grill to support Darlene Smith Sain in her fight against breast cancer. Gina Faye Hamilton organized several of Darlene’s friends and put together an event that included BBQ plate lunches, raffles, silent auction, and live auction. And Winnie’s own great Al White and the Chaparral Band played to the delight of the crowd!

  Darlene and her family were very moved at the show of support and encouraged her to remain strong and steadfast during this hard time. Many thanks to all the volunteers, auction donors, and bidders!
