Ouray County Plaindealer
Volunteers continue their tradition of delivering joy to others in Ouray despite the pandemic.
On Christmas Eve, five of Santa’s helpers will don their red velvet suits and adjust their long, fake white beards, smoothing out the tangles before pulling on their hats.
Outside the Elks Lodge in Ouray, they’ll load up their Jeeps and trucks with brown paper bags stuffed with toys and candy, and fan out across the county, winding through narrow streets in town and bumping down icy dirt roads, on their way to surprise children with a visit from the jolly old elf.
