Editor's note- Growing up in Bates County during the early 80's meant going to every dance at the youth building when Breakaway was playing. Myself, like many others, have a lot of good memories of going to the Breakaway dances and it's great to see the band still together, sounding better than ever. Congrats on 30 years!

Another "Christmas Jar" found...

I also wanted to say thank you to the "Butler Secret Santa" for the Christmas change jar that was left at my front door on Christmas. My grandfather passed away on Christmas day, and what a blessing it was to receive such a kind and thoughtful gift during such a time of sorrow. It is heartwarming to know that there are still people in the world who exemplify the true "reason for the season." Thank you!

Sincerely,
Vickie Spencer
