Blood Assurance was in the area on Monday at Aragon City Hall, hoping to get a few pints from local residents willing to donate.

It worked out for the city, as enough blood was collected to help save 24 lives and keep the regional blood bank stocked up ahead of medical emergencies or necessary transfusions.

The Vein Voyager stopped by the City of Aragon on Monday for about 2 hours during the day before heading back home, per Aragon Police Assistant Chief Andy Anderson.

Anderson, who has long been an advocate for blood donations, said he was glad to be able to help bring Blood Assurance to the city and more blood drives are being planned for the future. Expect an announcement ahead of the next one later in the spring.
