Dunking for bird seed: Local business hosts special event for a good cause
CARTHAGE, Mo. — Employees at a Carthage business were willing to take a dip today in order to help senior citizens enjoy nature.
Midwest Ag Supply gave people the chance to donate money for a chance to dunk one of its employees. The money raised will be used to buy bird seed to donate to area nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Owner Erin Day says her husband Darrell got the idea after seeing posts on Facebook asking for bird seed for someone in an assisted living facility. She says she knows how much people enjoy watching birds through her experiences with her own family.

'My great-grandmother for many many years and one of her favorite pastimes was sit there and watch the birds, grow her tomatoes,' said Day.
Day also told us they'd love to collect enough money to buy 10 bags of bird they're thinking about doing the dunk tank again. Folks who like to make a donation can simply stop by the store — it's located at 115 Grant Street.
