Letter to the Editor - Martin family hosts Christmas Cap and Glove drive

The Martin Family of Hays, along with our employees at Martin’s Grocery, are all sponsoring a Christmas a Cap and Glove drive for all ages.

Our winters can get pretty harsh out here, and we see so many people going without, so we decided we would love to be able to sponsor such a generous event. With this we would like to open this up to anyone that would enjoy purchasing any caps and gloves for whatever age you choose. These will all be disbursed Friday, Dec. 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Martin’s Grocery in Hays. We will have special guest Santa in the house passing out caps and gloves, and people can feel free to take their own pictures. 

Along with this, we have a couple of other things going on that will take place on that day. Each year, we have numbers of great door prizes with the majority of them that are donations collected from all our vendors, for example, Havre Distributors, Gusto Distributors,”Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, Sheers, CHS, Frito Lay and, “Deli Express,” just to name a few. This is to express our gratitude to all our customers, feel free to stop in and drop your name in the box. Need not be present to win.

And our grand event that will be taking place on this day, as well, is we will be drawing for $1000 cash. We are currently selling tickets of which can be purchased at $10 each or 3/$25 All proceeds will go toward our annual Fourth of July events. 

We, the Martin family, would like to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
