Funds being raised for the Mercer County Honor Marker Program this week. Pork chop meals are being served during the Aledo Main Street Farmers Market this Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at Aledo Central Park. Honor Marker t-shirts will also be available for sale. Organizer Jay Doherty says there are also other ways to contribute to the cause.
