Boonie Oliver Benefit Concert

Dan "Boonie" Oliver, Slippery Rock local, went to the doctor's for a routine check-up this past February. Because of an abnormally high blood pressure reading, an ambulance was called. He found out that he has an artery disease in his legs, which was too severe to fix right away and were quickly clogging. After surgery, the main artery in his left leg was replaced, but this coming week he will find out if he needs surgery again. All his friends and locals to the Butler area came together to have the first "Boonie Oliver Benefit Concert", held at the Rock House Bar and Grill in Butler, where several bands played and food and drinks were served. Cover charge was 15$, and raffle tickets were sold through the night. All proceeds will go towards Boonie's medical and life expenses. He expressed his amazement and thanks to everyone that came out to support him, and those that made this event happen.
