It was a beautiful day at the Ripley Co. Fairgrounds on Saturday, Aug. 2, for the Fourth Annual Southern Indiana Truck Convoy to benefit Make-A-Wish. This year’s Make-A-Wish gift went to Hailey Meredith, age 16, of Evansville. Hailey was diagnosed with Transposition of the greater vessels since birth. She has wished for her dream vacation to go to Disneyland. Hailey stated to the Osgood Journal, “I am so surprised that it happened!” as tears were in her eyes, as well as her mother’s. Hailey’s mom, Suellen, brother, Preston, and bonus mom, Jasmine will be going with her to Disneyland. Pictured left to right is Ryan Burkert, Co-Chair of Youth Professionals group volunteer, Hailey’s mother, Suellen Meredith, Hailey Meredith, and President, Alfred Sellers.
