In keeping with the spirit of the Christmas Season State Police Troopers from Hastings and Wayland spent Saturday at the Hastings Walmart collecting gifts for those in need. The annual event is known as "Stuff the Blue Goose."

Shoppers stuffed the patrol cars with food, clothing, toys and many other needed items. Four patrol cars were packed full after spending from 9-am to 7-pm at Walmart. Trooper Scott Scharrar told WBCH News "It was a very good success, and thanked everyone for their generosity."

At the end of the day the gifts and Food items were taken to Barry County United Way.
