Gospel benefit concert and auction Jan. 3 for Kelly Cancer Relief Foundation

This will be the third year that the Steve Kelly Cancer Relief Foundation has held a Wells Community Gospel Benefit Concert. There is no admission charge.

This year it will be held at the 4-H Community Building on Saturday, Jan. 3, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. (Doors will open at 5 p.m. for those who would like to try out the concessions—including hot dogs, chili, nachos and cheese and hot ham-n-cheese sandwiches.) Free baby-sitting will be offered.

A silent auction will offer tempting items and a live auction also will be held. Nine local singing groups will offer entertainment throughout the evening.

Scheduled to appear are the Wells Community Choir, Sherry Mann and Denise Ferguson, CC Trio, Shane Brothers, Psalm 100, Kylie Gerber, Lisa Frauhiger and Sam Steffen, Al Grogg Group and Jordan Streveler (2013 Street Fair Idol winner).

Anyone who would like to donate an item for the auction should contact Joan or Dustin Kelly at 824-3995; Steve Gerber at 824-5189; Todd Reimschisel at 8242-2300 or Bruce or Kate Stinson at 824-4450.

Last year this event raised over $40,000 that assisted with funding needs for Wells County residents battling cancer.
