December 5th was a great day in Kuna!

 What a busy day, starting at the Old 4th Street Gym with the Craft Bazaar, which included vendors, live music, shoppers, and Santa Claus.  Also, the Youth Essay Contest winners read their essays to the crowd and received their certificates and prizes.  Next was the Night Light Parade.  We had many wonderful entries even on such a cold night!  Back to the gym for the Tree, Wreath & Basket Auction.  Thanks to our generous bidders, we raised over $2,000. for the Kuna Food Bank.  Thanks for all who helped and participated!  We appreciate you!
