Saturday around 10:30 am near the Jackson & Shelton Street intersection,  there was a thanks playpen filled with women’s clothes, shoes and my grandson’s baby quilt.

It was set outside for a relative to pick up, but it seems someone thought it was discarded. Whoever picked it up, is asked to return it, especially the blanket, because of its  sentimental value.

If you have it can you please call Michelle at 870 723 8807 or just put it in my mailbox
