The Bruce Chamber of Commerce has established a fundraising effort to get a Mississippi Blues Trail Marker in Bruce honoring Leo "Bud" Welch.
The organization has already been approved for the marker by the state, but must raise $9,200 to cover all costs.
"We're excited to get approved for this great honor and now want to make it happen," Bruce Chamber President Joel McNeece said. "We believe this is a very deserving honor for Bud and local musicians and will be a huge asset for Bruce and Calhoun County."
