Krum, TX is a town of about 4,000 people in Denton County. Even the locals make fun of the name, but no one is making fun of its citizens today.
A 5-year-old little girl by the name of Reagan Richards is suffering from advanced leukemia and is not expected to live until Christmas, so the town decided to help her celebrate Christmas in July. They put up the city Christmas lights and are going to have a Christmas parade on July 25th. A company that operates a snow-making machine has offered their services to make sure it snows for Reagan, even if the temperature reaches triple digits, as it often does this time of year.
Way to go, citizens of Krum. You give us hope for the future.

Great story, Gary! Thanks for posting it!
Too bad more folks don't take the time to do things like that. Think of it -- if we spent all our time beiong nice and good to other folks we wouldn't have time for the mean stuff!
A great story. It's wonderful that the town is doing this for a very sick little girl.

Thank you Gary for the story! It's amazing what can happen when everyone just puts out a little effort. I am so proud of everyone . . . I just got word that after the news story on Channel 8 last night, a lady called in and is brining her live REINDEER! It going to be a very special day for Miss Reagan.
Thanks,
