Local kids of all ages received free dental care, nutritious foods and even a chance to meet the tooth fairy at Friday’s Give Kids a Smile Day. “My husband and I do this because it’s our way of giving back to the community,” said Julie Vaughn, who helped organize the event. She is the wife of Dr. Ryan Vaughn, whose dental practice was involved.
