Richard Farrelly has rung the Salvation Army bell in Auburn for 47 years, and he has no intention of stopping after this year’s holiday season is over.
Farrelly is a familiar presence outside locations like Fingerlakes Mall, as well as the Auburn Tops and Walmart, this time of year. About five days a week, he sits outside the stores and rings a bell for one to two hours, encouraging people to donate to the Salvation Army’s signature red kettle.
