About 100 people showed up during the morning and afternoon to offer support to Amelia and her family, donating over $1,000, canned foods, a handmade biker bear, and more.

When all was said and done, about 25 motorcycles  headed out, escorting the family as far as Marysville.

The Miami Dolphins have made another roster move to reduce the size of the team to the regular season limit by this afternoon’s deadline. The latest move is the release of quarterback Zac Dysert:

The release is not really a surprise, with Miami possibly only keeping Ryan Tannehill and Matt Moore at quarterback on the roster. Currently, rookie Brandon Doughty is still on the team as well, though he could be considered for a practice squad position if Miami thinks he can make it through waivers without being claimed.

Kenton will be visited by 100 plus Model T Fords ranging in model year from 1910 to 1927 on Sunday, Sept. 4.
