On Saturday, the Catholic Daughters and Knights of Columbus are coming together to put on a benefit for the Donvan family at the Sidney Elks Lodge BPOE 1782. The doors will open at 5 p.m. There will be a silent auction, goodwill offering meal, concert by Coleton McIntyre, and live auction.

Anyone wishing to donate for the silent auction can drop items off at Farm Bureau or Restorx. The Richland Ranger Arena is located at 601 7th Ave. SW and the Sidney Elks Lodge is at 123 3rd St. SW.
