🦈🎃 SHARK SIGHTING… BUT DON’T PANIC! 🎃🦈

Meet Nala, our resident land shark! 😂 She’s dressed and ready for Halloween, but unfortunately, she won’t be joining our deputies out in the community this weekend. She’ll be busy swimming around on dry land, perfecting her scary face, and probably demanding treats. 🐾🍬

Our deputies WILL be out and about at these spooktacular events, and we’d love to see you there! 👻

🎃 Friday, October 30 📍 Pumpkins in the Plaza | 10 AM–2 PM
Canon City Public Library

🍬 Saturday, October 31 📍 Trunk or Treat | 3 PM–5 PM
Main St. Canon City

🚒 Saturday, October 31 📍 Howard Fire Department | 5 PM–7:30 PM

Come say hi to our deputies, enjoy the Halloween fun, and remember: if you see a shark in the neighborhood, it’s probably just Nala looking for snacks. 🦈😂

Stay safe, have fun, and have a FANG-tastic Halloween! 🧡🖤

❤️ A Little About Our Shop with a Cop Event ❤️
As the holiday season approaches, we wanted to take a moment to share a little information about our Shop with a Cop event and how it works.

The children who participate in this event are selected by staff at Fremont RE-2 and RE-3 schools, including Penrose, Fremont, and Cotopaxi. These school staff members work closely with their students and families and help identify children who may benefit from this special experience.

Our Shop with a Cop event is made possible 100% through the generosity of our community and the donations we receive. Without the kindness and support of local individuals, businesses, and families, this event would not be possible. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who gives, supports, and believes in what this program means to our children and community. ❤️

We know this has been a hard year for so many people, and we understand that there are families facing challenges that others may never see. That is one of the reasons this event is so close to our hearts. We want to bring a little extra joy, kindness, and holiday magic to children in our community.

We also want to kindly clarify that we do not have sign-ups or an application process for this event. Children are selected through the school staff mentioned above.
Thank you for your understanding, your continued support, and your generosity. We are proud to be part of such a caring community, and we are thankful for everyone who helps make this event possible year after year. Together, we can make a difference, one child and one smile at a time. ❤️🎄👮

Thank you for helping us spread kindness throughout our community!
