Brayden Bashaw, 14, of Auburn, takes one of his 400 tree ornaments to wrap for a customer at Gritty McDuff’s in Auburn on Thursday night. For the fifth straight year he is raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. His total so far is nearly $25,000. His grandmother sews gingerbred men ornaments while he makes wooden ornaments by hand and pine cones. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
