Shop with a Cop (Hero) ~ 2011

If you read the paper there was a nice article about this wonderful event. Yesterday morning I got to ride in a helicopter with Santa Claus and surprise a whole bunch of kids by landing in the Riverdale Walmart parking lot. Meeting the Weber County Sheriff's Dept. who make it a special Christmas for 50 kids in need. First they get to eat breakfast at Denny's. They love riding in the police cars with the sirens blarring down Riverdale Road. Then they get a FREE photo with Santa (courtesy of me! I love doing Charity work and I print them off each year to give to the kids.) Then they get to shop with a cop. Boneville High School raises all the money for the kids each year and wraps all the gifts for the kids.
Here is the Pilot and Santa getting ready for take off! Here is Santa waving to all the kids who are getting in line for their photo. (Wish I could post kid photos but do not have parents consent.) So, you get to meet a few of the people who make this event a great success every year. Here I am kissing Santa! Mike Bateman (my photo partner) came this year for the first time to help out. Couldn't leave Mike out! My mom as Santa's helper getting the candy canes out of his bag and helping keep the kids in line.
