Thanks for support:
Dear Editor,

I would like to thank The South Reporter and the people who supported our fund-raiser bazaar held during the annual Christmas Tour of Homes on December 3 and 4 in the Little Sabbath School Church building.

The proceeds from the bazaar go toward upkeep on this historical building that is such an important part of the history of Holly Springs.

The response from the community was great and very much appreciated.
