Member Spotlight – Scott & Carol Collins
Scott & Carol Collins, along with their favorite Elf, grandson Joshua, held a “Santa Cares” Food Drive at the Rockwell Park Summer Festival in Bristol, CT on Saturday, August 20th. They collected 75 pounds of food and $125.50 in cash. “It was very easy to do & was a very rewarding day,” Scott said.
The Bristol Press wrote this excerpt about the event;
With a variety of food spaces, activities, civic-organizations looking to educate residents and music played throughout the day, the Rockwell Park Summer Festival is one of Bristol’s largest celebrations.
Scott Collins, of the Connecticut Society of Santas, held a holiday-themed food drive during the festival.
“We have Foodshare that we’ll be donating to and I believe the Grace Foodbank, so they’ll take our donations today,” he said. “I’ve been a professional Santa for five years. I started working at the Santa Express in Thomaston.”
He said, representing the seasonal icon of giving had given him a lot of joy.
