One amazing fish fry in Jeffersonville
Though a Friday fish fry during the month of March sounds pretty commonplace, one held by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church produced some amazing numbers Friday.
The event — held in conjunction with Jeffersonville’s Fraternal Order of Police — raised more than $20,000 to benefit two officers injured in a shooting last month. Generally, St. Paul’s fish fries bring in about $3,000, according to Wendy Walker, spokesperson for the church.
“It was really great to see the community come out,” said John Grimm, senior warden at the church. More fish fries are planned on Friday nights later this month.
Jeffersonville Police Cpl. Dan Lawhorn and Patrolman Keith Broady are recovering after being shot while responding to a suspicious activity call at Jeffersonville’s Motel 6 on Feb. 19. Broady was shot in the chest. Lawhorn was shot in the leg. Both are in fair condition.
The community came out to support the officers in a big way during Friday’s event. So much so that it was still the talk of the town during a Jeffersonville City Council meeting Monday night.
“The fish fry was absolutely amazing,” Mayor Tom Galligan said during the meeting.
