Waylon on the drums

Waylon Saunders, 24, months, was too busy playing the drums to pay attention to the hoopla at the Rustr Music Hall Sunday. The venue hosted a fundraiser for the toddler who nearly drown after falling into a pool at a Petrolia day care. Waylon, and his mom, Gillian Burnett, were joined at the drums by Petrolia Mayor Brad Loosley and Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley. The event for the Mooretown boy raised $8,550 which will go to help pay for his continued medical expenses.
