Rummage sale held to benefit Christmas party for kids

Posted: Updated:

For 30 years, one woman has worked all year to raise funds for an annual Christmas party for more than 2,000 children in the area.

Cricket Hudson usually hosts hot dog sales to raise money for the Christmas party, but on Saturday, she hosted a rummage sale. All the items were donated by the community. She says she does this because she wants every child to get a present on Christmas.

"My mom had 11 kids. We had Christmas and we got fruit, but we never got toys. I always said when I was able enough, I would have Christmas for all the children and that's what I've been doing for 30 years now," said Cricket Hudson.

Cricket will be selling hot dogs at Swinefest in Huntington later this month to also raise money.
