It is the time of year where Santa has many public appearances. He has to make sure that he sees every girl and boy in the world to ask what they they want for Christmas, so there are many places to have an audience with Ole St. Nick.
Each year Kiss Country and the other Townsquare Media Radio Stations all team with the Shreveport Police and Fire Departments and the Bossier Sheriff's Department to raise money to purchase Christmas gifts for local, less fortunate kids. The 30 year old joint venture is entitled "Operation Santa Claus."
Again this year, because of your donations, Operation Santa Claus was a tremendous success! Toys were presented over the last couple days to over 900 local children in Shreveport and Bossier Parish.
Tomorrow, December 15, as in past years, Kiss Country will join Bossier Sheriff Deputies, Shreveport Police Officers, Shreveport Firefighters and Santa Claus to put a smile on children’s faces at Shriners Hospital for our annual “Barney Cannon Smile Run.”
The teachers and staff at Youree Drive Middle School always look for ways to help in our community. This year, they have decided to help with Operation Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, old Saint Nick himself, made his arrival today to greet all the kids and kick off our annual Topp's Western World "Operation Santa Claus!"
