The LaSalle County Tea Party group will remember Art Havenhill. An event is planned for 6pm Thursday, April 15th at Pitstick Pavilion north of Ottawa. Havenhill formed the original Tea Party group for LaSalle and Bureau counties. He moved out of state in 2018 after interest seemed to wane.
Dennis Corbin, who revived the group, says April 15th is an appropriate day to honor Havenhill because of his fight for lower taxes and less government. Havenhill was 77 when he died last month.
