"I went to school in that old building, and it holds a lot of good memories—for me and for Blackburn. It’s more than just a roof we’re fixing. It’s a step toward bringing this town back to life. These events matter. They’re how we come together, rebuild, and remind folks that Blackburn still has a story to tell."
— Phil McCleary, former Blackburn student
