Kellerman Investigations is hosting a Toys for Tots Special Event to honor all that have served our Country and in the memory of David R. Warren, Sr., USMC and USNR, Rick Hill, USN, James Svaglic, US Army.

We invite you to stop by our SPECIAL EVENT ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30th (10AM-2PM) for a chance to win one of the many gift baskets. One raffle entry per gift that is donated, before or at the event. Increase your chances to win with each gift donated!

The Toys for Tots Special Event is our way of giving back to those spreading kindness in our community. The turnout of support last year was beyond what we expected, and we are hopeful that this year will be the same.

In appreciation for the incredible support, this year’s event will have:

- Games and prizes for the kids.
- Family photo opportunities complete with a holiday backdrop and props.
- Coffee, cocoa bar, and cookies.
- Gift basket raffle (one raffle entry per gift donated).

Note that gifts can be donated during the workday from 9am to 4:30 pm OR at the Special Event.

Winners will be drawn on Monday, December 2nd. Winners do not need to be present to win. Winners can only win one basket. If a winner is drawn a second time, that draw is void and another name will be drawn.

We would like to thank the generous local businesses that did not hesitate to donate to the raffle. Their support and donations are examples of what community is. Please support your local small business as you are out shopping this holiday season.

If you live out of town and would like to donate, please contact the office at 618.288.6662 or mail items to Kellerman Investigations, ATTN: Toys For Tots, 60 S. Main Street, Glen Carbon, IL 62034. Please note that we will turn in gifts on December 4th.

Step back in time at the 1820 Col. Benjamin Stephenson House as they usher in the holiday season during the annual Christmas Candlelight Tours, on November 30 from 5-8 pm. The historic home will be aglow in candlelight and bedecked in early 19th-century decorations as visitors are immersed in a truly interactive historical experience.

A variety of activities are planned to showcase the stories of those who lived at the Stephenson House in the early 1820s. Guests enjoy a leisurely visit in traditionally decorated rooms as historical interpreters discuss the history of the house and the Christmas customs of the families who lived there. Get a taste of homemade gingerbread baked in the kitchen hearth, learn a simple country dance in the dining room, sing carols around the parlor’s 1820 pianoforte, as well as vignettes in the servant's quarters, master bedroom, and children’s bedroom.

Tickets must be purchased online in advance for a specific time. The first tour starts at 5:00 p.m. with the last tour at 7:40 p.m. Cost per person is $15. Visitors need to arrive 10-minutes prior to the start of their specific tour time to check in at the gift shop. Tours begin promptly in the courtyard with an introduction by a costumed docent after which visitors may tour at their leisure. Please note, there are no hard-copy tickets for this event. The online receipt you receive when purchasing tickets from our website is your ticket and will need to be presented in the gift shop upon arrival at the event.

Masks are optional, at this time. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday and event preparations, Stephenson House will not be open during the day from November 28-December 1. For more information visit our website at www.stephensonhouse.org.
