Columbia County's Tourist and Development Director, Harvey Campbell, told the Observer late yesterday afternoon that he had raised $500 dollars from generous anonymous donors.
At 6pm yesterday, this still left the Sliders $200 short.
Hearing that the girls were so close, the Cupcakery and More, a woman owned and operated business, scheduled to open in downtown Lake City next week stepped up to the plate, with owners Barbary Lemley and Chantell Deane taking the Sliders over the top.
