The ringing of a bell can be heard outside of Renfroe’s Market in Dadeville right after Thanksgiving.

On some days, the sound of this bell can be traced back to a 75-year-old volunteer standing next to a red kettle that reads “The Salvation Army.” The Salvation Army’s bell ringing fundraiser is a fairly common sight to see, but this particular volunteer has been signing up to ring the bell for the past 15 years.
