The sheriff said it was “a great occasion to see everyone working together for our children. I would like to thank the numerous businesses and citizens throughout the county that donated to make this program a success.

“It is great to be able to help out our local children during the holiday season to put smiles on their faces. I would like to also thank Logan's Roadhouse for donating free meals to all the students. I would also like to thank Walmart for their participation in making this event a success. We look forward to having this event every year.”
