Rylee Harrison, granddaughter of Great Falls fire marshal Doug Bennyhoff, was diagnosed with brain cancer in February. To help her family offset medical costs, friends are holding a benefit on Sunday. The benefit, at the Black Eagle Community Center from 3 to 7 p.m., features dancing, a DJ, silent auction, live auction, bake sale, raffle and a 50/50 drawing, event organizer Julie Jorgensen said. Dinner includes spaghetti, chicken, pulled barbecued pork, salads and desserts. Auction items include a fishing trip to Alaska , five days of golf for four in Palm Springs , golf clubs and skis. Tickets are $8 per person or $15 for a family and are available at Prairie Mountain Bank, 1019 7th St. S.; Great Falls Fire Rescue, 105 9th St. S., and at the door on Sunday. Northwest 119th Street is a highway surrounding the “paradise” tucked behind eight-foot hedges. To run the venue today as a full-service country club with its big parties, lavish dinners, bar mitzvahs and business meetings proved prohibitive. “When I came here in 1976 this used to be the place in Miami ,” Garcell said. “There was Riviera and La Gorce but we were mainly a Jewish club and a very family-oriented club. People would come here and play golf and stay the whole day.”
