Smile

What makes Dave Barker smile?  “My family,” said the 66-year-old Noblesville resident.  He and his wife, Rhonda, have been married 40 years and have three sons, Daniel Barker and Victor Barker, and the late Jeremy Barker; and eight grandchildren, ages 5-19. He is a deacon at Clarksville Christian Church. Barker is semi-retired and working as a farmhand at Flanders Amazing Grain. He is a 24-year volunteer firefighter/EMT at White River Township Volunteer Fire Department and retired in January 2022. He is past president of Wayne-Fall Lions Club, which is having a Cod Fish Fry from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday at the Club at 11940 E. 191st St., at DeShane Avenue and Victory Chapel Road in Noblesville. Menu features cod fish, fries, baked beans, cole slaw and drinks. Donations of $15 for adults and $8 for ages 12 and younger will go to Christmas for people who need assistance in our area. For those who don’t want fish, hot dogs are available. Plus, there are desserts. The club is about three miles east of Indiana 37, across the street from Union United Methodist Church at 191st Street and Deshane Avenue.
