The Colonels have accepted cash donations for the pantry at their annual Christmas Concerts for many years and recently began supplementing those donations with money they collect at their annual Christmas Light displays at their home in Chester.
This year, Mr. Colonel collected $741 at the CHS Christmas Concert and Mrs. Colonel collected $471.58 at her CGS Christmas Concert. The Colonel Family collected $1,021.42 at their annual Christmas Light Display for a total of $2,234.00.
The Chester School District No. 139 Music Department is happy to be able to assist the pantry with these donations each year.
