If Harvesters can feed five people with a dollar, how many folks do you think it could feed with the proceeds from tonight's
Hillbilly for Harvesters show? "Over the past four years, we've been able to raise about $20,000 and collect approximately 3,000 pounds of canned goods," says organizer and country-dancehall queen Julie Minor. "Everything we earn at the door, and from the live and silent auctions, we donate to Harvesters. It's 100 percent donations — everybody's time and efforts, the bands, the auctioneer, our emcee. It really is an incredible shared effort by people who believe in the same simple idea of feeding people who need fed." Beginning at 7:30 p.m., Minor performs alongside Rex Hobart and Adam Lee & the Dead Horse Sound Company at Knuckleheads (2715 Rochester, 816-483-1456). Admission is $10 or $10 worth of canned goods.
