Family, friends pitching in to help young widow
Life has been hard emotionally and financially for Mistie Alford after her husband's boating accident.
Lucas Alford, 21, and his brother Logan, 17, were reported missing in the Choctawhatchee Bay after they didn't return home from a fishing trip June 22. Their bodies were recovered the next day in the bay.
Friends and family of Mistie Alford and the couple's young baby, Luke, are pitching in to help.
They're hosting a fish fry with live music at the Walton County Fair Grounds from 10 a.m. until all the food is gone. A plate of food is $7 and a combination ticket that includes the concert is $15.
An auction that includes cakes will begin at 11 and "New Fangled Theory" is set to take the stage at 2 p.m. Guests can also expect to see a few Walton County commissioners, DeFuniak Springs Police officers and Walton County Fire and Rescue. An AirHeart crew is expected to land at the Fair Grounds for lunch about noon.
All proceeds will go to benefit Mistie and Luke Alford.
