We were grateful to attend the Bright Eyes Halloween Fundraiser in Creston this year! This event raised crucial funds in partnership with CARE (Creston Animal Rescue Effort), a committed group of volunteers dedicated to sheltering and caring for abandoned animals. 🐾❤️

Their mission is to find loving homes for these pets, using donations for their care and medical needs. We’re proud to support this important cause!

Imagine this: The ice cream man "needs" your bank password to run your card. Sounds absurd, right? If it seems off in real life, it's just as weird over a phone call, text or email.
