Hum Dinger, Bell Ringer

Every Christmas season, teams of dedicated volunteers stand outside Kentucky Oaks Mall, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby, adored with mittens, scarfs and other warming gear, to "ring the bell" for the Salvation Army. This year, the bell ringing raised $103,000! That’s some hum dingin’ bell ringin’! The top bell ringers were recently recognized for their efforts. Congratulations to these winners!
