The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation is feeling the generosity this holiday season.

On Friday the final tally for donations made to the foundation through the Holiday Photo in the Barn initiative by the ANDARA Gallery topped $10,000.

Tara Wilkinson and Andrew Csafordi own a century old barn that they decorated and finished off with a 16 foot Christmas tree from Denmar Farms and welcomed over 1,000 guests for a photo with the tree in exchange for a donation.

They were accepting guests for pictures from November 12 through Friday.

The money will go towards building a new hospital in Prince Edward County.
