Christmas light displays are few and far between in the South Valley. But one law enforcement agency is looking to change that.
As a follow up to October s trunk or treat event, Tulare County Sheriff s Department will host its first annual Winter Wonderland.
Sheriff Mike Boudreaux and the department s PAL Program invite parents to bring their children to a drive-through light display this weekend at the sheriff s headquarters in Visalia. I wanted to do something for families because they re stuck at home, Boudreaux said. I hope this becomes a family event.
Throughout the week, the department s specialized units set up Christmas displays throughout the spacious parking lot. On Thursday, Sgt. Nathan Polk helped erect dozens of inflatable characters including the North Police Air Delivery helicopter.

Good News: Union workers providing Christmas presents to children in need By Tim Guidera | December 10, 2020 at 6:03 PM EST - Updated December 10 at 7:10 PM
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - It was a work party.
“We’ve got everything from teachers to the building trade, the crafts.”
Actually, an after-work party.
“Pipe fitters iron workers, operators.”
With members of local unions putting a wrap on one of their biggest jobs of the year.
“We have the carpenters, office of professional employees. The list goes on and on.”
As does the joint holiday giving program by Savannah’s 34 affiliated unions, whose members provide Christmas gifts for local children in need each year.
Brownwood News – It was 1976. He had just graduated from law school, and gotten married. He needed a job, but he wanted more than a job. He wanted a home, a place to settle and raise a family. He didn’t know where that might be. Then he got a phone call from Brownwood.
Forty-four years later, Steve Ellis is still in Brownwood, and retiring at the end of this month from his job as District Judge of the Texas 35th Judicial District. He finished on top.
Ellis’ path to Brownwood was circuitous and unpredictable. His parents were both natives of Central Texas, but were living in Silver City, New Mexico when Steve was born. As Steve’s father moved up in his profession, the family moved often, just a few years in any one town, living in many different towns in New Mexico and Texas as he grew up, eventually graduating from high school in Texas City, Texas.
