Food Drive Results

A great big thank you to all the families who brought turkeys and bags of food for the Food Bank this morning.

Over 100 pounds more than last year. Together Springdale families make a big difference. 
 
Happy Thanksgiving!

LUMINARY INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Open paper bag and if you fold down the opening into a 1" collar the bag is stronger.
Step 2. Scoop sand into each bag so there is 2 to 3 inches in the bottom.  It is important to use sand (as opposed to stones or dirt) as it will not only help keep bag upright but it will also extinguish the flame if the candle burns down or gets knocked over.
Step 3. Twist candle in the middle of the sand at the bottom of the bag.  This will set the candle into the sand and will trap the wax as it melts, allowing it to burn longer.
Step 4. Candles will burn approximately 8 hours and should be lit at sunset on December 24th and allow to burn until they go out. A long stick lighter works best to light the candles.
Step 5.  Place bags spaced along property near street.
