(Calexico Police host an annual event)....Kids and Badges was held last week.

It is the 22nd year Calexico Police and other first responders made sure some kids had a Christmas they will remember. This year 30 kids were chosen from the Calexico School District to participate. The group was taken to Denny's for breakfast. Visited with Santa and the Grinch that included photos. They were then allotted $150 and, escorted by a first responder, went on a shopping spree at the Walmart in Calexico. When it was over, there were smiles all over.
