By SARALYN NORKUS Banner Staff Writer The Christmas spirit was in full swing Tuesday morning, as a crowd gathered at the old Kmart for The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree distribution day. With a total of 896 children and seniors included on this year’s Angel Tree, a multitude of volunteers worked to ensure that the process was a smooth one. “We have an incredible group of volunteers from Tennessee Christian, Boy Scout troop 3217, and the community who have come out to support and help us distribute over 800 bags of pres- ents.
