FBLA has conducted a Halloween Safety program with LCES for the last 7 years. With COVID this year, they had to get creative!

A big thank you to: Fudge Factory, Connie's Ice Cream Parlor, The General Store, Moore's Hardware, Grapevines, Grateful Days, and FBLA members for donating over 10,000 pieces of candy! #𝑭𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 #𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 #𝑻𝑹1𝑩𝑬
