Lift for Leroy Record Day
By Eric Todd

This Saturday past saw the House of Iron and Stone play host to this year’s installment of “Lift for Leroy.” We hold this annually around the holidays as my brother, Leroy, is often down in the dumps around this time. Truth be told, it is not uncommon for moaning and wailing to be heard coming from his room at this time of year. All proceeds from this event go to raise his spirits. No money was raised this year. We had a good turnout of family and friends attend this year’s event. Jeff Rigby came all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah to help Leroy from being bummed out. Apparently, he had heard about Leroy “accidentally” falling asleep behind his wife’s car before she left for work last Christmas, and he wanted to help out. Lance Foster came in as a fraction of himself and incognito to assault the record book and bolster Leroy’s Christmas cheer.
