Early this morning at Bloomington's Salvation Army, the take from the previous day was being tallied up, when someone noticed a $100 bill, and another! Angie Fulton at the Salvation Army says they were put in a kettle yesterday afternoon. "Sometime between 2-and-8 so we aren't for sure, but it was out at the WalMart. And we're super excited, and the bell ringer was very excited, It was just a great thing to find on one of our last days of bell ringing to kind of give us a little excitement as we finish out the season." Fulton says the Red Kettle goal this year is $230,000. Right now the swinging little kettles have brought in just over $221,000. Fulton says the kettles will remain in place until late Thursday afternoon.
