Sanders County Ledger - Your Best Source For Sanders County News

Dear Editor,

We are all blessed to be part of an amazing community. Recently, the River Roadhouse in Trout Creek kindly opened their doors for a charity event to help the SCSO Christmas Relief Fund and a local family that recently lost their home and fur babies to a fire.

The weather was not in our favor, yet people came out to see Santa, ride with him on wet hay bales while a very entertaining gentleman did his own comedy version of Christmas carols.

Local businesses and people donated to a silent auction to help raise money. We ended up putting it on Facebook to draw more attention and raise more money. The community rallied together, and we raised almost $1,000.

We thank everyone who volunteered, attended and bid.  We want to send a huge thank you to the River Roadhouse, their staff, and owners who gave us a location, amazing food, and dedication to helping the community. The owners of the River Roadhouse also donated seven silent auction baskets for the cause.

Sanders County is truly an amazing place where people care for and help each other. Again, we thank everyone for helping this event.
