<snipped> Volunteers with the Haleigh Bug Foundation will be passing out flyers and selling bracelets and t-shirts today at Crescent City Catfish Festival to raise awareness for the missing 5-year-old girl.
All of the proceeds will go to the Haleigh Bug Foundation. Its main goal is to help bring Haleigh home, but eventually organizers would like it to serve as an agency for anyone suffering from a loved one getting abducted.
About 15-20 volunteers will walk in the fests parade. Volunteers children will walk as well to hand out flyers and hold a massive banner showing Haleigh's picture.
Residents worry about missing child, hope for the best

<snipped> "Where are the priorities?" Jacob Brey, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church said recently. "It seems like the attentions been diverted off Haleigh. I think some people in our congregation are just not pleased with some of the antics of the individuals."
"I feel like it has humbled Palatka, because nothing like this has ever happened," Stacy Kriser, owner of Noah's Ark Consignment Store, said. "We hear about it in other cities, but when it happens in our own county it makes us think and brings us back down to earth."
Kriser said that many people who come in the store ask her about it.
"It definitely gets people talking," Kriser said.
When asked what people were talking about, Kriser responded, "Nothing I can repeat."
