Henning Strong

The Aaron Henning benefit and poker run was held Saturday. Participants met at the softball fields in Newton and rode to Colfax, Mingo, Baxter, Laurel and Kellogg, making a final stop at the Newton VFW where there was a benefit with music, food, 50/50 and silent auction. The benefit raised approximately $1,800 for Henning’s wife and children. Henning, a father of two boys who was active in softball for many years, died June 1 from injuries he suffered while helping his family escape from a house fire a week prior.
