Sisters salutes...

•Ross Grant was top seller for the 10-county Crater Lake Region in the annual Boy Scout popcorn sales drive. Grant won a Dell laptop for his efforts.

The nine-year-old sat in front of Ray's Food Place and sold... and sold.... He sold a total $4,825 in popcorn in $10 to $50 increments. Grant thanked Ray's for allowing him to sell on the site.
