Dayton Christmas giveaway

I would like to thank the patrons of the Idle Spur, Sharyle Miller, residents of Dayton, Elmo and Proctor, and BDE (Big Arm Dayton Elmo Community Committee) for their help and support of the second annual Dayton Christmas giveaway.

Cash donations were down this year, but we were still able to help four families.

Each family received 25 to 30 cans of food, a turkey roll, 10 pounds of potatoes, an 18-pack of eggs, 1 pound of bacon, a 2-pound loaf of cheese, a loaf of bread, a bag of oranges, a frozen can of orange juice, pumpkin pie and turkey gravy.

Each child got two flannel shirts, hat, scarf and mittens and a stuffed Christmas toy. Some children also got snow boots. We did not have all the sizes for some of the smaller children.

Once again thank you to all that participated, and thanks to the volunteers who have signed up to help foil the Tree Terrorist plans next year.
