Aidan Ballesty, eight-year old second grader, decided to celebrate his birthday a little differently. Instead of receiving presents, he asked for peanut butter for the Marion Food Pantry. Aidan's grandpa, John Ballesty, is one of the coordinators and had mentioned the pantry was running low on peanut butter this time of year. Aidan had his party in the East Palmyra Christian School gymnasium (where he attends) and invited all of his classmates. He was proud to deliver a full box of peanut butter for the Marion Pantry.
