âTwas a few days before Christmas and all through Merrick County, Santa delivered toys from his plentiful bounty. The kids were hoping for gifts this year, but with a pandemic looming, those hopes were in fear.
Santa was out early this year spreading the Christmas joy this weekend to kids and families in Merrick County.
The big guy delivered toys to area girls and boys as part of the Santa Cop program organized by the Merrick County Sheriffâs Office.
According to Merrick County Sheriff John Westman, this year Santa Cop delivered toys to about 178 families all over Merrick County. Westman said he is extremely grateful for the donations made by the community.
