Clay Zeltwanger first baby born to Hancock couple

During what is considered one of the warmest winters on record, Clay James Zeltwanger arrived on the coldest day. However, the greetings and gifts for the 2012 Hancock first baby was enough to warm the entire family.

Clay arrived on Jan. 19 when the temperature read 17 below with a wind chill of 30 below. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz., 22.25 inches long and the first child, not only to Hancock in 2012, but to Jason Zeltwanger and Nicole Logan who live south of town. Clay was also the first grandchild for Jim and Lou Logan of Morris and the second grandson for Duane and Sandra Zeltwanger of Hancock. He has one cousin, Cody, who was very happy he will have a boy cousin to play with.

Jason and Nicole are so thankful for the generosity of area businesses who sponsored the contest and provided the gifts. They are excited to use each and every one as they grow together with their new baby boy.

Gifts for the baby were donated by Agralite Electric and Grossman’s Plumbing and Heating. Hancock Concrete and Trico each gave $10 in Hancock Bucks. Willies Super Valu gave a $20 gift certificate and Thrifty Benson Drug and City Center Drug donated a $10 gift cardfrom each store.

A bottle of champagne went to the proud parents from Inn Like Flinn’s and a year’s worth of Voice Mail came from Federated Telephone Co.

$50 will be deposited into a new Savings account in the baby’s name at Community Development Bank. Hancock Dental Clinic gave $5 in Hancock Bucks. Two gallons of milk went to the family from By-Lo Gas and Grocery and Buddies Bar and Grill gave a $15 gift certificate.
