The Hogscalders

Vernon Tucker

* This weekend's Diversity activities won't be all fun and games. Interspersed with the Par-Tees, bike runs, drag shows and pandemic revelry, two important benefits will offer visitors and locals a chance to "give something back to the community."

On Sunday, the Lumberyard will pass the collection plate for Tinker McClain, beginning at 1 p.m.

Eureka Live will host a Silent Auction benefit for Diversity Pride on Friday and Saturday evening.
