Elmhurst families and Entact Corp. came through with generous donations for this year's Toys for Tots holiday drive that wrapped up last weekend. York High School senior Thomas Gnadt led the drive, along with Jason and Bill Gorey, who run the ice rink at Elmhurst YMCA.

Kids in the Elmhurst YMCA Summer Camp took the stage in front of hundreds of spectators for a talent show Wednesday night at the Sandburg Middle School auditorium.
