King Midas will perform a three-hour concert Saturday night at the Milford Lake Conference Center at Acorns Resort to help raise money for the Aging Well Senior Living project. The concert is scheduled from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Roxie Johnston noted that King Midas is known as the longest performing rock'n' roll band in Kansas. They began in 1964 as a four-piece band with the name King Midas and the Mufflers." Today they're a four-piece band. The original member is Mike Hill. He left in 1967 to go to the Air Force for four years but then he came back. "
Calvin Pottberg noted that tickets are $50 each, and that is a donation. Go to agingwellseniorliving.com to order tickets or call 785-762-5716 and leave a message. They will get back to you to purchase the tickets.
The $13.5 million senior living project will be located on a 65-acre tract of land that was donated. Locally, Aging Well must raise $3.3 million of that total, and so far $2.3 million has been raised. Fundraising is moving forward.
Phase one of the project will consist of three small homes for skilled nursing with each one holding 12 elders and one assisted living apartment that will hold 14 elders.
