Art dollars — Money collected by Buddy’s Arcade, donations meant to pay for art supplies at Cascade Locks Elementary School next year, got stolen last Sunday night.
The cash till and a bunch of candy got taken, said proprietor Albert Nance, who started a GoFundMe to replace the lost art bucks.
“What was in the till wasn’t going to break the bank, but it was our best start so far, by far,” Nance wrote on GoFundMe. “To me, those dollars mean more than their face value. They mean our kids get to be creative ... And now we have to restart from $0 for next year’s art purchases.” Within a week, Nance met his goal of $1,000, with an extra $570 thrown in.
