PLAINVILLE – People near and far are claiming seats and full tables for eight to attend Rookstock on April 30 just outside of Plainville. Tickets to the first ever Rookstock, an evening of dinner, live music and fundraising, are selling quickly with purchases from those near and far including Denver, Kansas City, Iowa and Pennsylvania.

Tickets are required in advance for the outdoor evening event featuring a number of entertainers with Rooks County ties. Entertainers for the evening include: blues guitarist Jimmy Lewin and the Kingtones; John Brust; country rockers Lucas Maddy and The Kansas Cartel; and The Vocal Chords , a physician quartet comprised of Dr. Jen Brull, Dr. Lynn Fisher, Dr. Beth Oller and Dr. Dan Sanchez.

Rounding out the entertainment is a live and silent auction boasting something for everyone including vacation getaways to Colorado and Vermont, club level seats to the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs football game in Denver next fall, baskets filled with items from Rooks County communities and a surprise auction item. Attendees will enjoy a hog roast dinner and full service cash bar.

Tickets will remain on sale until April 8 and can be secured from Rooks County Health Center or by calling Eric Sumearll, Executive Director of Rooks County Healthcare Foundation and Rookstock organizer at 785-688-4428.

Proceeds from Rookstock benefit the second phase of RCH’s expansion plans, which is the addition of five new patient rooms and a dedicated Rehabilitation Center with curbside parking access.

It will also include a zero-entry aquatic therapy pool with treadmill floor as well as indoor walking track with a rubberized surface.
