Happy Feet was a great success again this year. We were able to get 111 pairs of shoes and just as many socks. We also got some help from the Friends of the Pratt Memorial Library in Ridgeland. They donated over 100 books to this event so each child would be able to pick out a new book with their shoes.    It was truly incredible to be able to see all those children's faces light up when they got their new pair of shoes, and a book. A big thank you to Victoria at New Balance who year after year has helped make this event spectacular. And thank you to everyone who volunteered!    VIEW THE HAPPY FEET IMAGE GALLERY   Our speaker this week is General Craig Wheeler.
