Choose Saline County February Update

Choose Saline County has BIG news about their BIG achievement in their first fundraising collaboration with Hickory Hut in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina.

BIG Thanks to Hickory Hut and BIG BBQ Fans!

During this BIG day, their supporters had the chance to trade in their Saline Stars for BIG bites of Hickory Hut BBQ, with 50% of the Saline Stars' redemption value making a BIG impact in the lives of kids in our area.

With the BIG hearts (and BIG appetites) in our community, over $1,300 in Saline Stars were redeemed on the BIG day, landing a BIG donation of over $650!

Thank you to all who participated, making this event a BIG success. Your BIG generosity and BIG spirit of giving made a BIG difference.
