GLADSTONE, Mich. — A small-town tradition in the Upper Peninsula spreads goodwill and helps a charity.
Firefighters riding in fire trucks went door-to-door last weekend in Gladstone, distributing candy canes while collecting food and $465 for the local St. Vincent de Paul branch.
The Daily Press in Escanaba says the tradition started more than 20 years ago with five volunteers and one truck.
Now more than 20 people are involved
Children eagerly looked out their windows as fire trucks decorated with Christmas lights went up and down Gladstone's streets, playing holiday music.
