MANCHESTER, KY (ClayCoNews) - Last Friday Clay County Cruisers VP Jonathan Butler acted on an idea that had been nagging at him for quite some time, he had already mentioned it to several friends and every single time the feedback had been positive. This weekend Jonathan is in shock at how quick his idea caught on with Clay Countains and overnight "Living the Dream" became a reality for children in Clay County to look forward to this Christmas season.

What was the idea that instantly "snowballed"? Jonathan told ClayCoNews that: "On a daily basis nearly everyone I meet asks me "how're you doing today?" and I always reply "Living the Dream", so due to all the recent flooding and other day to day hardships a lot of Clay County residents are currently facing, I started to think that despite everything the Clay County Cruisers have already done with this years Halloween Bash for children and the upcoming 2022 "Shop with a Cop" event, still, not every child is going to be be "Living the Dream" this holiday season, therefore, a "Cram the Cruiser" event could really add a much needed boost to the Shop with a Cop program this year.
"I got in contact with the Clay County Sheriff's Office and requested a cruiser for a Cram the Cruiser event. Clay County Sheriff Patrick Robinson was happy to send it."
"Last Sunday (first day of the event), Clay County Sheriff's Deputy Dewey Grubb brought a CCSO cruiser for the affair and dropped it off at the Family Dollar located beside Save-A-Lot in Fall Rock."
"Shout-Out to Family Dollar for agreeing to allow me space for the vehicle at their store!"
"Beyond my wildest expections, countless donations began to pour in throughout the week and the Cruiser that I was hoping to cram with dreams for children is now Jam-Packed with "Living the Dream" gifts....
At the time of this release a roll back driven by Keith Smith of Smith Towing is delivering the "Dream Cruiser" to be a participant in the parade to display the CRAMMED CRUISER."
