Bell ringers needed for Kettle Drive

Volunteers are needed to ring the bells for the kettles that will be located at Walmart and City Market.

Funds raised during the campaign stay in Moffat County and are used as emergency support for county residents. The need in 2009 already has surpassed that of last year and funds are dwindling rapidly, the Craig Service Unit reported in a news release.
