This event is a 10-hour
concert featuring Christian rock, metal and alternative bands
from all over the Midwest. All proceeds from the event go to
International Disaster Emergency Service for the purpose of hunger
relief. All bands are donating their time and talent so that every
penny from ticket and concession sales can go to
IDES.

Christian Church, 204 N. McLean St.
Bands scheduled to perform are the Lee Roessler Band; Look Up;
Sacred Eternal; Black Tea Shirts; Without Cause; Oh Hope, Come;
Turtleheads; Altar Addicts; White Linen; and Sunday Morning Riot,
the Lincoln Christian Church worship band.
Tickets are available at the Berean Bookstore in Bloomington and
at these Lincoln businesses: Clothing Zone, New Beginnings, CCA:
Computer Consulting Associates, and Camel's Hair'em,
Ticket cost: $5.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase, with 100 percent
of sales also going to IDES.

Humane
Society of Logan County is having a bake sale at Kroger's main
entrance on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The sale
will offer pies, cakes, cookies and other sweet treats.
Lincoln
Community High School football players and football cheerleaders
spent a Saturday afternoon and evening doing more than lamenting the
Friday night opening-game loss to Rochester. Thirty-five student
athletes volunteered at the balloon fest, working in programs and
admissions. This is the third year that the students have
volunteered their services at one of Logan County’s most attended
fall festivals. Coaches Jared Shaner and Michelle Ryan encourage
students to volunteer to help instill a social responsibility and to
show them that life extends outside of the end zones.

Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let
us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,
whether we use it or not, will get your name in the Close Up grab
bag. At the end of the month we will draw a name and someone will
get $25 just for dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be
happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
