STATELINE — It would take more than rain to extinguish the Christmas spirit at Findlay Stadium Stateline Speedway.
The wintry weather didn’t stop a handful of volunteers from putting together the fifth annual Night in Bethlehem Saturday, which will also take place at the Speedway from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. today, and again Dec. 16-17.
“There are two parts to this,” Stateline Speedway owner Luke Kjar said. “It's obviously highlighting the Christ back in Christmas. And the other part is helping people in need. And so we have a massive giving tree. There have been thousands and thousands of gifts given by community members to the people in need in different local charities, so that’s been really awesome.”
