On July 8th, residents of Smithfield in Madison County were hammered by a tornado that left 4 dead, including a mother and her 4 month old child. In addition, many other families lost everything to the storm.  To help out the victims, the Madison County Area Fire Departments are sponsoring a benefit for the affected families Sunday, August 10th beginning at noon.

Morrisville Fire Chief Rick Gorton joined us by phone Wednesday to give us more details, and you can hear the entire interview below.

There will be entertainment all day, including The Custom Taylor Band, Jason Wicks, Cassidy Lynn and the Beadle Brothers Band. In addition to the entertainment, there will be beer and wine, plenty of food, auctions, games and much more.

Tickets are 10 dollars in advance and 15 dollars at the gate. Ages 6-12 just 5 dollars and under 6 free. The show will be held outdoors at the Morrisville Fireman's Field, right next to Morrisville-Eaton Elementary School. The day will conclude with firework. All proceeds go directly to families of the Smithfield Area Tornado victims.
