Help Out The Ponto Family By Heading To The Ogilvie Raceway Sat

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.
