SIDNEY – The Ron & Nita’s shoe and clothing store in Sidney will host a Father’s Day weekend celebration blood drive Saturday, June 18, from 9 a.m. to noon at 134 S. Main St. The blood drive will feature a grilled lunch on the sidewalk and a drawing to win a pair of athletic shoes. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.

Community Blood Center’s new “Whale of a Blood Donor” t-shirt featuring a humpback whale and Alaskan mountain range design is free to everyone who registers to donate. Everyone age 18 and older who registers to donate will be entered in the Community Blood Center “Wild About Alaska Adventure for Two Summer Blood Drive” drawing to win a custom-designed Alaska vacation for two.

The grand prize includes air travel to Alaska, deluxe accommodations during your week-long stay, and options for a cruise or land travel. The vacation is for the winning donor and a travel companion.

Donors can double their chances of winning by donating early in the summer and becoming eligible to donate again. They can enter the drawing a second time when they register for a second donation through Sept. 3 blood drive period. Official rules are available at www.givingblood.org.
