A special thanks to The Salvation Army, majors Tom and Rose Eagle, Marilyn Minich, Regis Hair Salon, Logansport Mall, Theresa Short, Frank Downs, Logansport Home Depot, Kokomo Menard’s, Sharon Overway, Dawn Fisher, WSAL, the Pharos-Tribune, sponsors, volunteers and especially to those who bought tickets. The biggest thanks goes out to the parents that brought their children to see the trees. Someone said as a family we look forward to this tradition.
I can’t thank everyone who helped make this year a success. I also thank God for using me during this venture.
