Wabash Day Greenfield organizer Charlie Lopez talks with "Wearhouse"
manager Linda Baker. "We hoping to Wabash will make this an annual
event," Baker said. "Everything we sell here raises fund to support the
shelter." Lopez noted that one goal of the Wabash effort is to raise the
community's awareness of the shelter and store.

work. The Wabash men prepared the trail for the YMCA's upcoming Halloween
activities.
