PEORIA -- Showing off your holiday cheer is always better with family. The Salvation Army enlisted a special group of bell-ringers at Northwoods Mall.

Glennas Walker, of Chillicothe, danced alongside her 77-year old mother and daughter while collecting money for the holidays. That's three generations of bell-ringers.

Walker says when she heard Salvation Army was struggling to find volunteers, she had to get her family involved. None of the ladies has volunteered as bell-ringers before. Since they had so much fun, they hope to inspire other volunteers to step up to the plate.
