Here's a fundraiser where all you have to do is sit in a rocking chair all day.  The Mahoning Valley Epilepsy Fund held its fifth annual Rocking for Epilepsy event Saturday at the Cracker Barrel in Austintown.

Several groups showed up to rock, including the Red Hat Maidens and the Noteables from Austintown AARP.  Organizers say they hold the event to bring awareness and support to those who have epilepsy.  "We want people to know that it's not science, it's just good old fashion knowledge to help that person," said Rocking for Epilepsy organizer, Jane Mau.

A pie baking contest was also held.  The winning pies were then available to buy.
