The food packets go to the hungry: 1,000 meals to ReStore in Ada, 6,000 meals to the West Ohio Food Bank and the rest to the African nation of Lesotho.

The nutritious meals consisted of a blend of rice, soy, vegetables, vitamins and minerals.

Mr. Entertainer, Mr. Energy, Mr. Stamina...take your pick at what you want to call Ben Vereen, but most in the audience Saturday would say he is all three wrapped up in one person.

Vereen gave a two-hour show of song, dance, and humor at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts, earning two standing ovations at the conclusion.
He and three musicians kept the audience entertained with familiar and more recent songs for two hours without intermission.

His experience in acting showed when he could change his expression and emotion from happy to sad in an instant.
