The benefit will be 7 p.m. Saturday at El Sombrero Restaurant, 143 W. Main St., Jerome. There will be live music and free menudo and pozole.
All the proceeds raised will go to Morenos medical expenses.

Idaho state parks seek volunteers for 2025 season
BOISE — Idaho state parks seek volunteers for the 2025 camping season to assist at more than 2,500 campsites, yurts, cabins and group facilities across 30 locations.
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation needs approximately 240 volunteers for roles including campground hosts, interpretive guides, maintenance workers and visitor services staff.
Volunteers make a difference for our visitors, especially as outdoor recreation expands in Idaho, said IDPR Volunteer Services Coordinator Trish Hendrickson. Every park, every visitor is unique, and volunteers host remarkable Idaho experiences.

The department launched a Facebook page for volunteers to share experiences and support newcomers. Priority locations needing volunteers include Farragut, Lake Cascade and Thousand Springs state parks.
