Charles, a second grader from Starr, was the lucky winner of the Spend a Day with Officer Farris from Starr Elementary's Fall Fest raffle in October. His grandmother placed the bid on his behalf, as he aspires to become a police officer when he grows up.
During their morning together, Charles and Officer Farris made their rounds and enjoyed a fantastic private tour of Plainwell Public Safety, which included a surprise meeting with an Allegan County Sheriff Police Dog. They even shared a special lunch at McDonald's before wrapping up their day. Special thanks to Officer Farris and Plainwell Public Safety for making this a memorable experience for Charles!
