Wakulla Giving Hands partnered with the Less Fortunate Still Matters Foundation and Mack’s Country Meats to provide A Gift from The North Pole to families in Wakulla County on Saturday, Dec. 16, at the Wakulla Senior Citizens Center.
A Gift from The North Pole included toys and books for children, clothes and personal hygiene items as well as music, dancing, popcorn, and sno-cones were also included for approximately 300 people who did not let the weekend’s bad weather hinder their holiday fun.

Family Funeral Home held a Tree of Remembrance Service on Thursday, Dec. 14 at Harvey-Young Chapel.

Last week’s front page story on the bunk beds built for kids without beds by the Rotary Club and Realtors should have also credited Cone Distributing for making a financial contribution to the project.
