Fire Damages Cato/Overcast Home
Tuesday, August 16, 2005
A fire destroyed part of Rhonda Cato's and Mile Overcast¹s new home Thursday, Aug. 11, 2005.
The electrical fire started around 4 p.m. in the kitchen, which was destroyed in addition to the living room and one bathroom. The rest of the house, in which the family had lived only a month, was heavily damaged by smoke. Thankfully, no one was injured, however, Cato said the fire destroyed nearly all of their belongings.
Cato and family are currently staying at a friend's home while their house -- only the structure itself was covered by insurance -- is repaired. Repairs are expected to be made within six to eight weeks.
Anyone wishing to make donations may do so at the Walking Horse Trainers' Association at 109 Noblitt St., Shelbyville, Tenn., beginning Aug. 22 through the Celebration.
