Why: A show of friendship and support for chef Rich Buck’s widow, Chris Bennor, and their young sons. The family purchased the Igo Inn in March, invested about $100,000 in improvements in the building, and was ready for the grand opening Aug. 19. Rich Buck died suddenly a few days before.
What else: Money tree. “The community is just aching for them,” Brad Maloney said. “We just want to do something to help.”
