The Lincon Valley Chamber of Commerce Hosted the 45th Annual Lincoln Community Benefit at the community hall Saturday Nov. 2. This year's benefit featured the annual performance by the Lincon Community Players, who put on their version of the TV classic western Gunsmoke.

'Gunsmoke: A Fractured Fairy Tale' was a mashup of Gunsmoke and Snow White tells the tale of a group of gold mining dwarves and their money-hungry boss, Snow White, upsetting the peace in old Lincoln.

Stu Horner, sitting in for his wife Christa, and Tammy Jordan were teh two finalists in the ticket number game. they agreed to split the winnings, each taking home $3000.

This year' 11th Chair auction sparked a bit of a bidding war, with the winning bid going to Karen Frank-Plumlee. She chose the Upper Blackfoot Historical Society as the recipient of the auction proceeds. Her bid plus the matching funds will give the UBVHS a $4600 donation.

Aaron Birkholz took home this year's Outstanding Community Volunteer Award for 2019. Birkholz was nominated by Klara Varga, who noted his dedication to the community as the president of the Lincoln Volunteer Ambulance and as a captain in the Lincoln Volunteer Fire Department.
