Area families are invited to help celebrate the Christmas season with 'Cookies, Cops, and Santa Claus' this Sunday at the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge in St. Joseph.
Patrol officer with the St. Joseph Police Department and event organizer, Joey Thompson, says there are several activities planned for this Sunday, "We'll have coloring pages, people can craft a holiday ornament, there will be cookies, drinks, and of course we can't forget about Santa Claus."
The event is free and open to everyone. Thompson says free digital photos will also be available. "You can either use your own equipment but we'll have a camera set up at the lodge."
FOP Lodge #3 is located at 621 S. 36th Street and takes place from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. this Sunday, Dec. 14.
Thompson says this is the inaugural event, "This is our very first year and we hope to continue it each year after this."
