Santa needs little helpers

Sundance's very own incarnation of Santa and Mrs. Claus are in need of help from the community following a recent major medical illness. The Sundance Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an auction to assist Dennis and Shirley Conway this Friday during the Holiday Hoopla Raffle drawing.

To be auctioned off is a Ruger American Predator with Vortex Crossfire II 4-12X44 scope and also a decoy by Big Sky Carvers and part of the Hindley Collection from 2004.

The third auction item is a framed and matted print of "Riding ol Paint and leading ol Dan" by Chuck Dehaan, one of a limited run of 750 prints.

The auction and the second drawing for this year's raffle will both take place on December 7 at 5:30 p.m. at the Longhorn Saloon.
