Ken Lindblad speaks during his final evening after 40 years at the Salvation Army Christmas Basket, with emcees Frank Palleria (middle) and Brian Smith (right).

In the next photo is Holy Trinity’s Choir of Angels singing.

And next is the Wolsey-Wessington Band.

Pledges should be sent to The Salvation Army, PO Box 1362 or delivered to 237 Illinois Avenue Southwest, clearly marked as “Christmas Basket.”
