The first-ever George Cerutti Memorial Sports Cards and Collectibles Show drew hundreds of sports fans and more than 50 tables of merchandise to The Event Center of Montgomery County in Taylor Springs on Saturday, Feb. 22. Organizer Zach Wygal said visitors came from all over central Illinois throughout the day. The show was held in memory of George Cerutti, who owned and operated a card shop in Hillsboro in the late 1980s and 1990s. He passed away four years ago on Feb. 23, just one day after the inaugural card show. His son, Michael Cerutti of Hillsboro, said he knew his dad was smiling down on the event and those who attended.
