Today, the Watseka Police Department held its annual Shop with a Cop event at Wal-Mart. First, and foremost, we would like to thank Watseka Wal-Mart, their management, and their employees for helping make this a special day for all involved. Second, we want to recoginze the many individuals and businesses in the community that sponsored this year’s event. Without their generosity and thoughtfulness none of this would be possible. They are the real heroes today. For us, it was an honor and privilege to play a small part in what was hopefully a memorable day for so many kids. Their smiles and pure excitement were refreshing and a simple reminder that life is good! Have a Merry Christmas!
