A crowd of more than 225 people filled with friends and constituents turned out March 12 at the Walker County Civic Center for the roast of Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson.
The event was hosted the Rossville Exchange and organized by club President Sherry Foster. The proceeds will go to Walker County Stocking Full of Love and the Exchange Club’s community projects.
Sheriff Wilson has been in office since 1996 and was diagnosed with cancer last year. During the roast, the sheriff was chided about his hair. Detective Pat Cook said the sheriff’s choice of hair spray was Vidal Sassoon and Oakwood Baptist Church Pastor Darrell Henry showed proof that Wilson had been wearing the same hairstyle for more than five decades.
