2020 Christmas Town Tour and Food Drive

The Mt Zion Odd Fellows wanted to spread some Christmas cheer to the Mt Zion community. They decided the best way to do so, while allowing everyone to distance as they felt appropriate was to bring the cheer to the neighborhoods.

This past Saturday the Odd Fellows traveled throughout MTZion with their illuminated Christmas float playing Christmas songs and their own little drummer boy, Kerry Toothman, playing his homemade drums. Santa even showed up to ride along. The repurposed ambulance provided a tow vehicle, lights and a siren to let the neighborhoods know they were coming.

The Odd Fellows mini parade started at 4:30. 15 miles and 3 hours later, the parade wrapped up, having passed through nearly every Mt Zion neighborhood.

The Odd Fellows were greeted by many happy residents standing on their porches or in front of their homes. The Odd Fellows brought donations and collected additional food for the Mt Zion food pantry along the way. Those food items were delivered to the Mt Zion food pantry on Sunday, where they were greatly appreciated and desperately needed.
