FINLEY, Calif. – The day after the Pawnee Fire broke out, members of the Big Valley Hall in Lakeport decided to help the Spring Valley community by donating use of the hall for a benefit concert.

Hall members are now extending an invitation to join them on Saturday, July 28, to help raise funds for the NCO Pawnee Fire Fund. Entry will cost $10.

Two bands have volunteered to play from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Big Valley Hall, which is located at 1510 Big Valley Rd, Lakeport at the Finley border.

Come early for some tasty dancing blues by "South County" from Sonoma County. This up-and-coming band has matched veteran musicians with a few on the younger side to energize their delivery of well loved blues standards.

Mixing it up is Sean "Mudcat" Parnell on harmonica and vocals, Jody Counter on guitar and vocals, Eric Navas on guitar and vocals, Pete Rochelle on bass, and Marcus David on drums.

Finishing up the night will be The Mark Weston Band, a cover / original rock band that.prides themselves on their melodic harmonies and ability to keep a dance crowd on the floor.

Band members have been seen around Lake County with various bands and include: Mark Weston on guitar and vocals; Kent Hayden on bass and vocals; and Fred Hartnett on drums.

Wine donated by Don Angel Cellars, Kaz Winery and Mt. Konocti Winery will be sold. Beer, soda and water will also be available. Please bring cold dishes, fresh fruit or cookies for potluck snacks.

There will be two raffle prizes of table seats to the next fire benefit at the Soper Reese Theatre on Sept. 15 with The Funky Godfather, a 10-piece band specializing in James Brown hits.

Silent auction items have been donated by local crafts people and community members. Gift certificates have been donated by two businesses new to Lakeport: TurboTech Computer and Juicy's Pizza.

This benefit is an all volunteer production by Spotlight On Productions in partnership with The Time Bank of Thrive Lake County.
