While Bill Hearne is recovering himself from his stint with cancer, Bill & Judy Hearne are the sole owners of the Crown Center in Fruitland. The Hearne's got a last minute call from the staff of Relay for Life in desperate need of an indoor facility for this years event as the rain was pouring down and the Shorebirds Stadium just wasn't going to work out.
As usual, the Hearne's opened their doors and hearts to everyone and cancelled the events scheduled at the Crown Center for the price of the electricity. While many business owners would take advantage of such a distress situation, the Hearne's have always come through for Salisbury and we cannot forget the "Good People" that they are.
That being said, other "Good People" were there to support this event, far too many to mention without this being the longest Post ever on Salisbury News. Hopefully the photos provided will show some of them and most of them wouldn't want to be mentioned anyway. That's how "Good People" are.
I can't help but throw out this plug for the Crown as well. Laser Tag is coming to the Crown Center. Party Room,s are also being added but I know the younger people reading this will enjoy knowing that Laser Tag will be coming very soon.
It goes without saying, thanks for all the support at this event and hopefully in a comment someone will be able to tell just how much they raised at this years event.

what a great pick of fernando, fries, crystal, & erica's daughter aliyah!! too cute!
Bill and Judy are top shelf stand up people. They support their community and under cover do more without anyone knowing than a little bit. They have supported the arts in Salisbury with sculpture. (rumors another one is ready) The kids and our community are lucky to have them living here.
The Wicomico RFL as of their website right now has raised $245,125.00... not sure if this is the final number.. I think teams still have time to turn in money.

BRAVO TO THE HEARNES!
And thanks to the many organizers and workers at the event, which was another success.
It pleases me to see a business giving back to the community who supports it.
I wish more business would do such.
and we cannot forgot mike & joanne mercer who are also known in the community for giving back. they also kept the cafe open all night and were busy keeping things going. thank you everyone!
Joe,
I was speaking with a friend and discussing what a great time we had at Crown on Friday night and how nice it was for the Hearne's to step and volunteer to help. They also told me that the Civic Center was contacted to help out and they said yes they would help for a mere $6000.00. How pathetic, we all know the Civic Center was never intended for anything other than for the service of our community. Thanks again Civic Center one more time the community has had to look else where
joe when are you going to put the picture of the ferrymans son with fernando on the website. please have it up asap.
