Community supports family of 9-year-old boy killed in bike accident

EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio (WKBN) - The community is coming together Friday to honor the memory of 9-year-old Clayton Talbert, whose life was tragically cut short in a bicycle accident earlier this month. Family friends have organized a special benefit dinner at the Moose Lodge in East Liverpool. The fundraiser, which kicked off at noon, features a spaghetti dinner and Chinese auction. Family members were wearing custom-made t-shirts honoring the young boy. It's all to help support Talbert's family during this difficult time. Organizers say they've prepared 140 pounds of spaghetti and they'll keep serving until it's all gone. "It was a great relief, all of the donations that we received and all of the baskets that we got. Seeing everyone come together for the family is always heartwarming in a time of need," Chelsey White said. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children. Proceeds from the event will go directly to the Talbert family.
