Members of the Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks collected donations for their Christmas for Kids Project during the Snodeo event held over the weekend of December 8 and 9 at the George T. Hiltebrant Recreation Center in Old Forge.
Fred Trimbach, chairperson of the collection effort, reported that over $1,300 was raised at the event.
The funds will be used to purchase gifts, mittens, hats and food for several families in the Central Adirondacks for the holidays.
“Each year the visitors to our community during Snodeo demonstrate their generosity in a very positive way. We are grateful for them, and thank them and the many Kiwanis members who spent time at this year’s Snodeo,” Trimbach said.
