Kendall to perform at benefit concert, Lake City festival

Chris Kendall, vice president for Student Development, will perform at a benefit concert and silent auction — in honor of Rod and Shirley Steiner, who began the reconciliation process between the Dakota people and the people of Winona — on Saturday, Nov. 14.

The benefit will feature LightWalker and Chris Kendall & the Coulee Kings in Winona State University’s Somsen Auditorium.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students. Children under 12, accompanied by their parents, will be admitted for free.

A silent auction begins at 6 p.m.; Kendall and the Coulee Kings perform from 7 to 8 p.m.; a video tribute to the Steiners begins at 8 p.m.; and Lightwalker performs from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Proceeds go to the Winona-Dakota Unity Alliance, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, and all contributions are fully tax deductible. A portion of the amounts paid for silent auction items will also be tax deductible.

Kendall will also play 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at “Film and Folk Music from Winona” at Oak Center near Lake City. The performance will begin after Joyce Woodworth’s film about Vietnam, “The Journey Home.”
