The McLean County Republican Party hosted its Support the Red, White and Blue Rally on Sunday at the Corn Crib in Normal.

It was planned as a thank you event for firefighters, healthcare providers, and police for "all they do to serve our county during our COVID battle," according to the GOP.

The event featured an exhibition softball game with teams made up of first responders.
