Vermilion County group builds 200th wheelchair ramp

DANVILLE – On Father's Day, you would expect sons to be taking their dads out to lunch or sitting down to dinner together at home.

Instead, three sets of fathers and sons and one mother and son associated with the Vermilion County Handicapped Association spent most of Sunday building a wheelchair ramp.

"It's becoming a tradition," said Greg "Flea" Heath, who was among the father-and-son teams.
