## About

The first stop of Johnson County Park Police's December 5 toy drive is Shawnee Mission Park, 10:00 to 11:30 am. Santa is with the officers. Children can look inside the cruiser, turn in a new unwrapped toy for Children's Mercy Hospital's Snowflake Shoppe, and get a small gift from Santa. The same drive continues at noon at Thomas S. Stoll Park and at 2:00 pm at Meadowbrook Park, so this is the morning window for families already at the big park. The district calendar does not print a fee or a signup link. Bring a new, unwrapped gift if you want it to go to the hospital shop. The park is large, so leave time to find the cruiser once you are inside.
