Around Town Silent Auction Sunday To Benefit Family of Phillip Parker

Posted by Jonathan Meador on Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 10:37 AM

The family of Phillip Parker, the bullied, openly gay Smith County teenager who committed suicide last month at his home in Brush Creek, is holding a silent auction 3 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 19 to help pay for his funeral costs.

Memorabilia donated by country artists Montgomery Gentry, Aaron Tippin and Toby Keith will be among the items up for bid. Phillip's grandmother, Glenda Odom, says there will be hamburgers and hot dogs available, and for entertainment, a series of wrestling matches.

The event will be held at the Smith County Agricultural Center, 159 Ag Center Lane, in Carthage, Tenn.
