SIDNEY -- The green was plentiful early this St. Patrick's Day, including that offered in support of the King's Daughters Friday morning.

The morning started at 6 a.m. with early risers arriving at The Rock with the sun, and an offer of a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes. 

Donations for the King's Daughters were accepted in lieu of a charge. The breakfast brought in $1,340 for the King’s Daughters during the Third Annual Big Boy BIG St. Paddy’s Day Party breakfast at The Rock Sports Bar And Grill.

The King's Daughters is an organization that has a 132-year history of service to the charitable needs of Cheyenne County. The Sidney Wide Awake Circle of King's Daughters was founded in 1891 by military wives of Ft. Sidney soldiers. Some of the projects the King's Daughters are involved in include: Christmas Outreach: Treat bags/cookie trays/ OHD sacks- to shut ins, elderly, those in need of cheer in their lives Poinsettias – to those who lost a spouse or child during the year Christmas Décor and small gifts – to nursing/assisted living centers Food boxes – (entire meal and staple items) to approximately 180+ local families in need.

The celebration, furnished by Sutton Home Gallery, continued through the day with The Rock's regular menu and corned beef and cabbage as a special.
