DIXON - The town of Dixon needs more space to fit all the support for one of its residents battling breast cancer.

Terri Middlemist, 56, just finished her fifth chemotherapy treatment. She has three more treatments before she starts radiation and also has three kids and three grandkids as well as plenty of reasons to fight.

The community hopes to raise money to help the Middlemist's with medical costs this Saturday and with so much response, they've moved the event from the Dixon Senior Center to the Dixon Gym.

The event is set for Saturday, February 4th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Dixon Gym. Organizers will serve up an Irish stew with Dixon-grown beef and vegetables. A local band will play music beginning at 6 p.m. There will also be a silent auction.The dinner is free to children ages three and younger. Children ages 4-12 cost $5. Everyone else gets in for $7. Families of four can get in for $20.

For more information contact Chris Sullivan at (406) 246.7777 or Delene Tufly at (406) 246.3271. You can mail donations to Delene Tufly at P.O. Box 144, Dixon, MT 59831.

An additional raffle is underway for a rifle and homemade quilts with the winners to be drawn in April.
