The event is organized every year by Shirley and Jerry Chancellor of the Fountain Area Fire Department, who both responded to the emergency call. The event also included members of the Mason County Allied Veterans (Butterfield was an Army veteran), and representatives of Michigan State Police, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, and Scottville Police Department.
