Keep Country Bait Alive in Valparaiso

Country bait shop located in valparaiso Indiana is closing its doors. They don't want to but Luke oil has canceled their lease and gave them to end of August to be out. The owners had acquired country bait from Dorris's son Tim, when she had fell ill back in 2013. They have been running it ever since. They have kept a much needed business in

valparaiso and brought families together for many fishing outings. Now with the acconomy being so bad they cant afford to go anywhere else. They had been grandfathered in essentially at a cheaper rent and still struggled when prices started to raise and economy went south. If we can raise enough money for them, the hope is that they can aquire a new place in valparaiso so they can keep supplying the area with bait. The employee they currently have is located not far from country bait and is a retiree. He has been struggling for awhile now but this was his only income and a perfect job for him and is also devastated with the decision Luke oil has made. The owners would keep him on at a new place for as long as he wanted.
