Salem Crossing is hosting a benefit in memory of Bryce Gerlach, who was shot and killed at Harvest Homecoming on Saturday, Oct.12, in New Albany. His father is Scott Gerlach, a physical therapist at Salem Crossing.
He was tragically killed in a cross-fire between two shooters. Two other people were shot, but survived. Bryce is thought to have jumped in front of somebody to protect them.
In memory of Bryce, Salem Crossing is having a barbecue dinner and bake sale, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The business is located at 200 Connie Avenue, Salem.
Barbecue chicken meals include a chicken leg quarter, macaroni and cheese and cole slaw for $10. There are a variety of sweets and treats that will be available at the bake sale.
Orders will be taken for memorial bracelets for $5 each that will be available for pickup on Oct. 28. Please call 812-883-1877 for more information.
All proceeds will be donated to the Gerlach family.
Bryce was 18 years old and a senior at Corydon Central High School. He was a member of the football team and flirting with a 4.0 grade average.
His coach is quoted as saying, “He always jumped to the front line to take on that leadership role.”
On Friday night, Corydon Central will play Silver Creek High School. People in attendance are asked to wear blue, Bryce’s favorite color.
Gerlach had aspirations of playing college football.
The City of Salem announced that hours for trick-or-treat will be 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 31.
The Salem Moose Lodge is hosting a Trunk-or-Treat on Thursday, Oct. 31, 6-8 p.m.
The lodge is located at 1004 Webb Street, Salem.
