ALAMOSA — A fundraiser benefit will be held for local business owner and Society Hall friend Bob Phillips on May 12, at Society Hall in Alamosa. It will begin at 4 p.m. and will feature several performers for the afternoon and evening. The event is open and free to the public.

Phillips is the owner of Lightshine Music in Alamosa. He has always placed great importance on serving his community and has been one of the most generous people in the San Luis Valley. He has donated his time, his sound system, his music and his energy to countless benefit fundraisers over the years.

His band, Blue Sky Band, has been popular at fairs and events across the San Luis Valley. Most recently, Phillips has had some health issues, and Society Hall is asking the community to lend a hand.

The planned performers include Charlie Johnson and Rhonda Schoenecker, Ol’ Scratch, Waverly Road, and closing with the Blue Sky Band (Bob’s Band).

There will be food available at this event. It will be a nice Mother’s Day treat for an important cause.

The benefit will be held at Society Hall, 400 Ross Ave., Alamosa.
