All proceeds will go to help raise enough money to help buy and preserve the the St. Isidore Historical Plaza, according to Anita Schommer, plaza publicity director.

Schommer added, “I can’t imagine how the people would feel around here in 2014 — that’s the day that it would have be bought by — if they tear it down.”
