The inaugural “Rock for Alzheimer’s” fundraiser at the Bad Habit Brewing Co. in St. Joseph on Sept. 24 drew crowds of people who were invited to come and join the families of Bobby Vee and Irene Linn, both of whom were diagnosed with the disease, for an event filled with music, beverages and more to help raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research and support to try to find a cure for the disease.

Irene Linn’s five sons – Steve, Phil, Sam, Eric and Mike – brought along their father’s 1980 Chevrolet Scottsdale pickup truck to the inaugural “Rock for Alzheimer’s” event held Sept. 24 at the Bad Habit Brewing Co. in St. Joseph. The Linns spent three years restoring the truck to try to cope with their mother’s diagnosis.
