Kollin Thompson from Niles is 8 years old. He has autism and he was very interested in learning
about soap and wood carving. He was so focused on his project that we couldn't get him to look up
and smile to take the picture...but Marcia got a wonderful big hug for teaching him to carve a horse
head! Thank you Kollin!
