On Nov. 24, the day after Thanksgiving, the Saluda Bell Ringers will begin their 12th annual Christmas season of manning a kettle for The Salvation Army on Main Street, located in front of M.A. Pace store. This will be each Friday and Saturday through Saturday, Dec. 20. The hours are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 to 3 p.m., and 3 to 5 p.m.

We are happy to see our veterans return each year and welcome anyone who would like to join with us and become a bell ringer. If interested, please call Susan Kruse at 828-749-9849, or you can leave your name and number with Leon at M.A. Pace store.
