Benefit raises $4000 for bushfire relief

SUNDAY’S benefit concert at the Derwent Valley Sport and Recreation Centre has raised about $4000 for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. A Derwent Valley Council spokesman said about 300 people had attended and enjoyed the four hours of entertainment, which included children’s activities as well as choirs and bands. A demountable steel and timber stage was manufactured for the concert and will become a community asset, available for future use.
