'Have A Happy Day' In Canton

A 4-year-old demonstrates the power of giving back.

Blake Osden Follert passed out flowers at ShopRite of Canton Thursday morning, telling female customers to "have a happy day."

Blake turns 4 soon and will collect blankets for Cherry Brook Health Center, said his grandmother Donna Carney. The effort will be dubbed "Blake's Blankets." 

A few years ago Blake's older brother started "Denver's Desires" for the Canton Food Bank.

"Teaching a child to give back is teaching them love for another human being," Carney said. "You don't have to be rich or have a lot of money to give and help others, just the desire to do so."
