The Harper Creek Optimist Club in Battle Creek is well known for its annual gift to the community in its Christmas Parade.
One of the things that makes that parade possible – along with support for programs and education for young people – is the club’s biggest fundraiser of the year: The Duncan Bailey Memorial Drawdown.
HCOC’s Dr. Jeromy Myers tells Community Matters how some event attendees become winners – and how Duncan Bailey made his mark on the club.
