All 22 angels were soon adopted within just a couple days, and the shop was flooded with gifts. Pick up day on Dec. 17 was quickly upon the group, and parents were able to pull up and grab their children’s wished-for gifts with plenty of time left to get the already wrapped presents under the tree before Christmas. “It made my heart Crowder College happy,” said Macy Barrett, Building Communities Committee Chair.

A bench has been placed at Rocky Edmondson Park in memory of Mike and Larry Dickson, twin brothers, and members of the Cassville High School Class of 2018. Mike and Larry tragically passed away too soon in an automobile accident in April of 2016. The class of 2018 voted to use funds from Project Graduation Dec. 17, mere days before Christmas, the Exeter FFA hosted its annual Christmas to place this bench at the park in their honor. Front row, from left: Mike and party. The party, open to all members, was a blast, with students playing games Larry’s sister and nephew, Tori and Gerald Mayes; and Tammy Dickson, the twin such as White Elephant and Guess Who, dancing and visiting with fellow mem- boys’ mother. Back row: Representing the class of 2018: Haley Donovan, Jamime bers. The Exeter FFA would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Aguinaga, Mason Jacobson, Bub Schell, Brayden Strahan, Trey Sturgell and Kaylee New Year. Contributed photo Riebert.
