“Layaway Angel” in Osage Beach

The latest “Layaway Angel” has struck in Osage Beach. The Christmastime phenomenon began in Michigan earlier this month when an anonymous woman paid off the Layaway balances of K-Mart customers. Since then, there’ve been reports from stores across the country of Secret Santas paying off layaway bills for strangers so there would be presents under the tree. This week, a mystery man walked into the Walmart in Osage Beach, pulled out $250 and asked employees working at the layaway desk to spread the money around to help as many people as possible.
