The Magee Volunteer Fire Department once again rallied the community in support of one of its own, Tate Clayburn, who has been battling brain cancers since 2017. Now with new tumors appearing, chemotherapy options are limited, and he is trying to get into a clinical trial. Clayburn is also on holistic treatments. The Magee VFD’s goal for their fundraiser was to sell 1,000 chicken plates at $10 each. Once it was underway, those with and without tickets made their way to the drive-through at the 5 way stop, a steady stream of vehicles from 10 a.m. to nearly 2 p.m. Gathered here are Michael Allan, Mark Parker, Aaron Lindsey, John Hosey, Reuben Koehn, Hunter Steele, Chief David Craft, Tate Clayburn, James Drew Womack, Tony Puckett, Shane Steele, Shane Little, B.J. Smith and John Ready. According to Chief Craft, donations well exceeded expectations. The Fire Department is still accepting donations on Clayburn's behalf.
