WASECA – Waseca police officer Arik Matson was feeling the love this weekend. Scores of people lined up Saturday to greet him, his wife, Megan, and their two daughters following the opening ceremony of the Matson Strong benefit at the Waseca County Fairgrounds. The fundraising event was a celebration and a thank-you for the community’s support, and organizers said proceeds will go toward the Matson family to cover day-to-day expenses and medical bills, as Matson, who was shot in the head by an armed prowler in Waseca last year, is on the road to recovery.
