Despite the cold, grey, rainy Saturday afternoon dozens of police officers, teachers and regular Springfield citizens turned out to pass out nearly 600 gift-filled Christmas stockings to invited students from Forest Park schools. Called the Holiday Stocking Giveaway, organizers from the Police Department’s C3 Forest Park Unit, Springfield teachers, members of Springfield Together and Santa himself, handed out stockings filled with candy, books, and small gifts to each of the children.
