A Christmas party brought the community together to take in some early holiday cheer. Savior's Grace Ministries held a Christmas Party for local families on Saturday.

Veterans at the Meadows of Ottawa senior living center received Christmas gifts from the VFW Post 9142. Each veteran received a lumbar pillow for them to use. The Meadows at Ottawa was just one of five stops in Putnam County the VFW makes, and they have been thanking veterans with a Christmas present for nearly 15 years now.

It might be an extra special Christmas this year for a lucky someone playing the Mega Millions.
