McHappy Day dawned at McDonald’s Restaurant with Mayor David Raven handing out the go-juice to eager customers. Throughout the day, well-known local citizens like him helped out at the franchise by serving up food and asking customers to donate a buck or two to the Trees for Tots Foundation.
Trees for Tots raises money that it disperses to families of children with serious illnesses who require treatment out of town. That’s something that can be a real burden and its assistance is always welcome.
Here are a few shots of local people helping out:
