Free Breakfast with Santa takes place Saturday, December 18, 2021 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Sheriffs’ Lodge & Conference Center, located on the ISYR property south of Brazil, 5325 N. State Road 59.
The wind cannot stop Santa! Santa was supposed to visit the Indiana Sheriffs’ Youth Ranch this past Saturday, but the tremendous wind from the weekend storms downed the power lines and interuped the water pumps at the ISYR. Both Santa and the Sheriff’s decided to postpone the breakfast until this Saturday, to ensure the safety of the children and their families.
This is ISYR’S first time hosting Santa Clause and special thanks goes to the organizers; Clay County Sheriff Paul Harden, Greene County Sheriff Michael Hasler, former Marion County Sheriff John Layton, Owen County Sheriff Sam Hobbs, Parke County Sheriff Justin Cole, Putnam County Sheriff Scott Stockton, Sullivan County Sheriff Clark Cottom, Vermillion County Sheriff Mike Phelps, Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse and others.
Students, parents and grandparents from across Indiana are invited to attend and children are encouraged to bring an appetite and a smart phone or camera for selfies with Santa.
The free breakfast, which is sponsored by the ISYR Chaplain’s Fund, includes pancakes, cereal, turkey sausage links, juices, and milk.
Tax-deductible ISYR Chaplain’s Fund donations provide needed clothing, toiletries and food for young visitors to the 62-acre not-for-profit training retreat for future law enforcement officers, at-risk kids, young witnesses and victims of crime.
All parking is free. Handicapped spots are available.
Hand sanitizer and an electronic thermometer will be available. Face masks and social distancing are encouraged when possible. Guests will be asked to respect one another’s pandemic precautions.
