The Okmulgee County Salvation Army is preparing for its annual Angel Tree event. The Christmas tree, adorned with angel requests for the needy, is located at the north entrance of the Okmulgee Walmart. County families, civic and school organizations and church groups are encouraged to pick an angel from the tree and be a blessing to child in need. Bell ringers, individual or group, are also being sought. Call Carol Smith at 918-758-6947 for available times and dates.
