My mom and I were busy again this year ringing the bell for the Salvation Army on most Saturdays after Thanksgiving. We rang at the Maplewood Mall, Cub Foods in Maplewood and Cub Foods in Stillwater. I think our favorite place to be is in front of Barnes and Noble at the Maplewood Mall. So many people are coming and going there! But wherever we can ring we seem to meet nice people. People stop and want their picture taken with the horses or they run home to get kids and grandkids. Our kettles raised over $4000 this year!!
