“We are blessed to have so many great organizations locally that help provide to those in need which is why I am also hosting this drive to help provide donations of children’s socks,” said Bristow. “I invite people to stop by if they wish to discuss their thoughts and ideas with me, make a donation to the Socks for Tots drive, or to simply have a holiday treat. While this is a busy time of year, I encourage people to stop by and celebrate Christmas and the holidays with my staff and me.”
