Merry Christmas
The police storefront held Tuesday, December 21st, was a huge success again this year. Santa Claus was kind enough to come by and bring lots of toys and joy to the little ones. Shown on Santa’s lap are cousins Anthony Magana and Saul Magana doing their best Santa imitations. 1,100 coats and toys were handed out to 1,439 kids from 358 families. The Fillmore Fire Department gave out 60 turkeys. Each child who sat on Santa’s lap received a free Polaroid of the moment along with a candy cane.
