• Solve the puzzle. Help save a life: Give blood with Red Cross (idahostatejournal.com) — Ashton residents have two upcoming chances to give blood: Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at North Fremont High School and Nov. 24 from 1 to 6 p.m. at the Community Center. The Red Cross especially encourages type O donors to schedule appointments as holiday activities make regular donations harder to fit in.
