Most of you have seen this post, and have shared in the joy of this little guy's honesty and integrity. We've been thinking a lot about that....
In today's world, there is a lot of negativity. We want to keep the positivity going, so we are going to keep sharing positivity as we come across that, and this is where you all come in -
Moving forward, we'd love if you all would send us in your letters, talking about the bits of positivity, honesty, and good stories that you come across in your daily lives. It doesn't have to be like this little guy's story, but something you found inspiring, or brought a smile to your face. Every month (or every week, depending on the response), we will pick a letter to share, and send the letter writer a piece of the gorge to celebrate the bit of positivity that you shared with us all. It might be fudge, it might be stickers, it might be a shirt. Just send us a letter through the mail to the address below and we will get to sharing!
Red River Gorge General Store

We appreciate each and every one of you!
And just a little update on where we at now - Your sharing has gotten this letter around the country, but his family has not reached out yet. We have sent a letter to the return address and are hoping that they will reach out as soon as they receive it! Please know we will keep sharing any updates with their permission, as soon as they contact us! We appreciate each and every one of you sharing this, and experiencing this little bit of positivity.
We received this letter today in the mail, and were so touched and impressed by this little human demonstrating great values and responsibility. We just wanted to share this as it made us all here at the store tear up - Please be like this kiddo. He made an honest mistake, realized what happened and instead of ignoring it, he chose to make it right.
We should all focus on making it right, just like this young man.
We appreciate you, little man! We will be sending you something special from the store, as we appreciate all good, thoughtful humans and you are on the right path. Keep being awesome.
Good job to his parents - You are doing great things with this one. Keep up the good work.
(We purposely did not share his name so as to not identify him, his family or where he's from. But if this is your kiddo - Please send us a message here on facebook. We'd love to speak with you about this, and get some feedback on what we will be sending to make sure its okay with your family allergies/size, etc)
Edit 06/15/25 - We haven't heard from this little guys parent's yet, but you all sharing it has gotten the word out! We appreciate it, and hope they come across it soon so we can get some shirts/fudge out to them as well
