Honon Hall in Delphi was all a-buzz recently with shoppers at the Christmas Toy Store, sponsored by the Delphi United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, Living Faith Church of Brethren, St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church and St. Joseph Catholic Church. This year, 500 children will have a merrier Christmas because of the generous donations from the community. Mary McDonald, a member of Living Faith Church of the Brethren, has been in charge of the event for the past seven years. She begins planning right away for the next toy store. Names of families are submitted to committee members and a letter is sent out which is then presented to shop at the toy store. Local merchants, individuals and school children donate items for children ages newborn to 18. This year most of the bicycles were purchased by the Delphi chapter of MADD. Comet photo
