Cobleskill Mayor Rostam "RJ" Freitag, and Police Chief Dean DeMartino working with Kyle Kirk (No relations to James T Kirk. I asked. She asked who's that?) filling the Christmas cheer.

Chief Dean DeMartino found the lip gloss Kyle was looking for. This was just like a treasure hunt. Guys don't like shopping unless it has to do with auto parts, or hunting stuff. Photos by Robert Duso.

Sgt. Cody Whittaker of the Schoharie County Sheriff's Department seems to be having just as much fun as the kids.

Investigator Dan Smith of the Schoharie County Sheriff's Department standing at the register as the kids ring up the gifts. Dan has work hard putting this together each year. He has just as much fun as the kids. A big thank you Dan, you really have a big heart.

Walmart Staff members really enjoyed putting this together along with Law Enforcement members.
