An organization that provides individual encouragement and support to adolescents and adults with various levels of developmental disabilities to lead to a life of balance has won a custom-made bus worth $100,000 in a contest.
Harmony Day Support Center in Bedford County was one of 200 applicants to win a new shuttle bus from Forest River Bus to mark its 100,000th vehicle.
