 Best Christmas Ever is back for a third year in Bemidji. Right now the team is working hard to collect as many Christmas presents as they can. Best Christmas Ever is a non-profit that surprises families who have fallen on hard times during the holidays. The Best Christmas Ever team is made up of local business owners and volunteers. The team collects gifts for a local family who was nominated by another family or friend. This year there were 10 nominations. It's a time to get together with family and friends and really you know just be fortunate that that we're all here and it's just great to see community members stepping up. I want to thank Bemidji Chrysler Center, Honda Bemidji for having a tree location. They're going to generate about 60 gifts just from this location alone so it goes a long way and especially that helps the family that's fallen on tough times. The best way to help out is to stop by the Chrysler Center of Bemidji or Jake Bloom's State Farm Office in downtown Bemidji and pick up a Christmas tag from the BCE tree. Simply buy the gift on the tag and then bring it back to the tree location. If you don't want to do that you can also donate cash as well. So I made a lot of toys and stuff like that. Somebody who's obviously nice enough to donate a PS4 gift cards to local businesses. Lukens, Holiday, Stitsworth Meats. Gifts can be donated until next Monday. Tentatively the plan is to surprise the family chosen next Wednesday.
