Visiting family needs your help

My family and I had the privilege of vacationing at Big Mountain and Whitefish last week. We had a wonderful time and were so impressed by the friendliness of EVERYONE we came in contact with. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan to vacation here again really soon.

We attended the Torchlight Parade on Christmas Eve at Big Mountain. During the parade, our black camcorder bag containing our Canon Optura camcorder was stolen. The black camcorder bag was last seen near the top of the steps next to Moguls at Big Mountain. The camcorder bag also contained the videos taken during our vacation and all other videos taken of our family during the last four months. Although we would love to have our camcorder back, more important to us is getting these videos (which we can never replace) returned. We have three children (ages 7, 5 and 3) and the older two learned to ski last week and all of this precious footage is on the miniDV tapes that were in the camcorder and bag. If anyone can help us in this matter, please contact us at (601) 853-1920. We are offering a reward for the return of the Canon Optura camcorder, bag, and all contents. We will also offer a reward for the return of the videos only (with no questions asked).

Thank you and Happy New Year,

Trent Baldwin

Ridgeland, Miss.
