“We encourage folks to come to our most cherished community events in the oldest hearts of the city to “vote” for their favorite kettle! We have to raise $80,000 this season to meet the needs right here, and every dime helps,” said Evan Tuttle, member of the local board. “This is a really fun way to go about that!”
