There will be a benefit for Clark Fork native and long-time Yoke’s employee Corie Castle this Saturday.

Castle graduated from Clark Fork High School in 1992 and has been serving the community ever since by volunteering and being a foster parent.

Castle was recently diagnosed with Scleroderma, a chronic connective tissue disease that gradually hardens every organ in the body. She has been in and out of the hospital since August, and recently moved into a life-care facility.
