The weather outside is a little frightful, and while Santa might be used to gusting winds, organizers of the Mount Pleasant-Sturtevant Holiday Food Drive thought visitors will prefer the warmth of indoors.

All residents are invited to the Food Drive tonight, Dec. 15, from 7 to 8 pm at Mount Pleasant Village Hall, 8811 Campus Drive.

South Shore Fire Chief William Bouma put together a committee of volunteers to help stock the shelves of the Racine County Food Bank once he learned the Holiday Train was not stopping in Sturtevant.

Music from True Life Ministries and the Smiler Grogan Case jazz trio will provide the festive back-drop for enjoying goodies donated by the Washington Avenue Piggly Wiggly, face painting and balloon decorating by Cuddles and Billy, and making ornaments for the Mount Pleasant Christmas Tree in the lobby.

We hope to see you there!
