Flames ripped through the Elks Lodge at 21 Main Street early Saturday morning in North Tonawanda.

Firefighters received the report of the blaze shortly before 6 a.m.  The fire destroyed the building. 

There were no injuries and fire investigators are trying to find the cause.

Two events were scheduled to take place at the Elks Lodge Saturday.

The Rock ‘n with Santa Toy Drive has been relocated to the American Legion location in the City of North Tonawanda, scheduled for 6 p.m.

The fire has also left a bridge and groom scrambling to find a new site for their wedding reception that was also scheduled for Saturday evening at the lodge
