Locals gathered at Orton Keyes Thursday for an evening of barbeque eating and fellowship. Rockford CEASEFIRE works to erase the idea that violence is acceptable in our community.


"It's important that we do this just to let, to get neighbors and the community involved and get them out of their houses and come together," said CEASEFIRE supervisor Theresa Davenport.

CEASEFIRE week continues Friday with a movie night at the Booker Washington Center from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. Saturday, the group will host the CEASEFIRE Peace Fair and Barbeque also at the Booker Washington Center from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.
