Shelby Lynn
Donation protected
We are absolutely heartbroken to hear the devastating news this morning of the loss of one of our own, Shelby. It is always heart-wrenching to lose someone who was not only a dedicated employee for many years but also a valued member of the our Midland family. Shelby and her sister Joslyn have attended our Midland shows since the very first event and started working for us after the first year. They have always been willing to lend a helping hand whether it be setting barrels or running our food stand.
Joslyn was also involved in this horrific accident but is expected to make a full recovery.
Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience..our thoughts go out to Shelby's sister Joslyn and their family during this tragic time. It's crucial to offer emotional support, lend a helping hand, and be there for whatever they need it. May our prayers provide comfort and strength to the Opalka family as they navigate through this horrific tragedy and begin the healing process.
We have created a GoFund me to help her family pay for funeral and memorial expenses. Please consider donating as their family is going to need all the help they can get.
We will also be announcing a benefit race for the October show once we have further details.
Even if you cannot donate please share to your pages.
