Ponto Strong! Help Out The Ponto Family By Heading To The Ogilvie Raceway Saturday
It's been several months since Jeff and Becky Ponto were released from the hospital after being the victims of a vicious attack in their home back in November of 2022. While the road to recovery for them is long, it isn't lonely. The community of Ogilvie has stood with the Ponto family from the beginning, and they continue to lend a hand in various ways, including this Saturday at the Ogilvie Raceway.
A post from the Ogilvie Raceway yesterday outlines the non-racing event that will be taking place, basically all day, at the raceway. The day kicks off with a pancake breakfast and ends at 1 in the morning Sunday with live music.
We are not racing this Saturday, but we hope that EVERYONE will join us sometime on Saturday, starting with breakfast at 8 am and ending with bands going all night long.
Please help us support our friends that have always been here for us and this community, Becky and Jeff Ponto.
