TMT Farms hosted a "Mini Christmas in July" event last week, designed to offer a distraction for local residents from dealing with COVID-19 and, more importantly, help feed the hungry.

Restrictions, business closings and social distancing have made it difficult for local families to find ways to have fun together, so organizers created the event that featured a shortened route. Antique farm equipment, classic autos, replicas of past local businesses and a western town were also available for drive-through viewing. 

There was no charge for the event, but donations of non-perishable foods, pet food and cash were accepted. The event ended last Sunday night.
