A benefit is being held Saturday for a longtime Scouting volunteer battling stomach cancer.

The benefit, featuring cotton candy and snow cones, 50-cent games for children, silent auctions, a bake sale, and a Native American jewelry sale, is noon to 4 p.m. at Harvest Time Bible Church, 1802 Dixon Road, in Rock Falls. There also will be an open-class pinewood derby; the entry fee is $5. An account also has been established at U.S. Bank in Rock Falls; make checks payable to the Al Goodwin benefit.
