Pancakes, NASCAR and fund raising

While all eyes are focused on Texas this weekend, a little bit of NASCAR can be found closer to home here in West Virginia, along with good cookin'.

There will be a pancake breakfast at Max and Erma's in downtown Huntington Saturday from 8 to 10 a.m., to benefit the Walk for Autism coming up April 25. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door.

How does that relate to NASCAR? If you have to ask, you've never been to one of the group's local events or never met Bill Harvey. His business dealings send him to tracks on the east coast and he gets many limited items and has them autographed.

As a fund-raiser for the Autism Society - which, by the way, is a cause near and dear to the hearts of Elliott and Hermie Sadler.

Hillbilly Hot Dogs will host the annual Autism Auction on May 9. A couple of items up for bid will be on display Saturday morning at the pancake breakfast.

Elaine Harvey and her husband Bill are tireless workers for the Autism Society and he has quite the NASCAR collection. A few of his awesome autographed items are on the block, and hopefully they'll send along photos so you can see them.

Namely, a signed Dale Jr. display hood and a construction hard hat with approximately 20 autographs.

For more information about the items up for bid, the Walk for Autism or the local Autism Society, you can call the Autism Services Center at 304-525-8014
or the WV Autism Training Center at 304-696-2332.
