Children are selected from local public elementary schools and paired with someone from law enforcement. The kids get $100 to shop for holiday gifts in local stores. Amid the laughter and shopping, the biggest challenge is keeping the spending under a C-Note. As always, if you look quickly you’ll witness a lightening quick-draw as the police officers slip their kids a few extra bucks.

The Vail and Avon event then heads to Four Seasons Vail for dinner, gift wrapping and a visit with Santa.

Combined, the Vail, Avon and Sheriff’s Office Shop With Cop events will reach more than 100 local kids.
