Town of Silt Community Development Technician Nicole Centeno said a few residents had contacted her through social media, asking if they could do something for the kids who are celebrating birthdays during the order to reduce the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided we would put something together for the kiddos and combine what a lot of different people were doing and make it our own, our Silt Quarantine Birthday Brigade,\u201d Centeno said.<\/p>\n
