Crew of 10 concocts nearly 1,100 popcorn balls to benefit local relief fund, Haiti victims

The sounds and smells of fresh popcorn wafted through the air at Amstar Wednesday morning as a crew of 10 workers and volunteers spent 10 hours creating 1,097 gooey popcorn balls in the name of charity.
Sold throughout the day for $1.50, the popcorn balls served as a fundraiser for the Dakota Plains Chapter of the American Red Cross to raise money for earthquake victims in Haiti and to also supplement the local disaster relief fund that was depleted after a rash of house fires earlier this year.
