Vigil organizer Pam Brotzman said in an email that the remembrance was planned because “the community felt we needed to do something for the baby.”
The vigil will be held in the location where the baby was found, behind the mobile home park, 755 N. Tratt St., at 7 p.m.
“People are asked to bring candles with them as we don’t have many. There will be music and prayer,” Brotzman said.
