On Saturday, residents in Chandler will be holding their own their own memorial for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting.

A benefit concert is being held at Tom Ryan’s from noon to 7 p.m. 

Organizers Hayley Boult and her boyfriend, Joel Maze, were attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival with friends when 58 people were killed and nearly 500 people are injured.

The event will feature local country musicians, food trucks, raffles, and a silent auction to raise money for the Las Vegas Victim’s Fund.
