The community rallied last Friday night at Lyons Den Restaurant and Taphouse to help support local Cody Allen Sciro, victim in a New Year’s Day roll-over car accident.
Sciro, an uninsured full-time carpenter and part-time bartender at Lyons Den, badly injured his left arm in the incident, to the point of requiring complex reconstruction surgery.
Wendy Miller, Rick England, and Lyons Den owner, Randall Yarbrough, assumed varying coordination roles for the benefit, dubbed “Take My Strong Hand!” The event included a spaghetti dinner, a silent auction featuring an array of items from 16 local donors, and performances by two energetic bands, Wayward Circus from Lyons and Bad Decisions from Fort Collins.
The venue was packed to near capacity with enthusiastic attendees and, according to Miller, earned roughly $1,800 for Sciro, who hopes to be able to return to work in a few months.
