CANTON Chris Smith believes in Christmas miracles.
When concerns arose that Community Partners might have to cancel its annual Unforgettable Christmas giveaway due to the pandemic, Smith said she started to pray.
The result: Sunny, 55-degree weather in the middle of December, enabling the event to be held outside at the Edward L. Peel Coleman Center at 1400 Sherrick Road SE.
The giveaway was a public-private effort that included free toys, hats, gloves, scarves, coats, food, 800 Pro Football Hall of Fame visitor passes, and other goodies. It s turned out beautifully, Smith said. The Lord heard our prayers; no rain, no snow, no cold.
