There's still time time to grab a tag off the trees at Topps and The Towne Store to help the Christmas Express help families in need. Buy what's on the tag, and return the gift with the tag taped to the gift by December 18 -- and presto, you will have bought joy to a child or family!!

The Express organizers also take donations of wrapping paper and Scotch tape, ribbons and bows.

You can also give by buying raffle tickets for the annual basket raffle, part of Schroon’s Olde Tyme Christmas Celebration at Chamber of Commerce Office.

Today, between 12 noon and 8 pm buy some raffle tickets for some great baskets. Proceeds go to fulfill all the remaining Christmas wishes, says Tammy Leinhart, coordinator of Christmas Express.

Money will also be raised at a Bake Sale at the Underground Food & Craft Bazaar the night of the Christmas Celebration, from 3:30pm – 8 pm at the Town Hall. And you may even see Holiday Cans for Cash donations located at numerous area businesses.

And if you can’t make it here, your checks will happily be accepted. Mail them to Christmas Express, 276 Alder Meadow Rd, Schroon Lake, NY 12870.
