Benefit for Deb Proskocil a Success thanks to the Generosity of all who helped.

Close to $6000.00 dollars was raised for Deb who is suffering from Krohns Disease, an incurable and extremely painful affliction that cannot be cured but can be treated.

The money will go to pay for doctors and surgeons bills and the Lutheran Church should also be donating a portion from a fund they have available for just such needs.

Close to 30 musicians and performers participated in the benefit and videos will be up on YouTube and on this site later in the weekend. Pay special attention to one Mr. Malley O'Putt, one of our fine craftsmen from the area and a gentlebeing who has not frequented these parts for some 30 years. Mr. O'Putts services are gravely needed in these troubled times of high taxes and corrupt deal making politicians! Would that there were more out there just like him!
