Studebaker Museum to show off "special" quilt
The “Saved by the Belt” quilt wil be on display until May 20 at the Studebaker National Museum, 525 S. Main St., South Bend.

According to Mari jo Martinec, Public Affairs Manager, Studebaker National Museum, “We wanted to bring the ‘Saved by the Belt’ quilt to our community to remind everyone that many children are being saved across Indiana because they are buckled up.” The “Saved by the Belt” quilt is sponsored by the Indiana Highway Safety Leaders as part of the Saved Chicken barbecue Saturday ' The Elkhart County Association of Life Underwriters will sponsor a Port-A-Pit chicken and ribs barbecue Saturday, March 31, 10a.m.-3p.m.,in the parking lot next to L.J.
