The roles of Christmas’ first couple will be played by “Canby’s Santa,” longtime local resident Ed Grautski and his wife, Judy.

Christmas came early for 15 lucky boys and girls at the Canby Fred Meyer this weekend, as they and their families joined Canby Police Department officers for a beloved annual tradition, Shop With a Cop.

The annual outreach by the Clackamas County Peace Officers Benevolent Foundation gives each kid a $200 gift certificate to purchase gifts and toys for themselves and family members.

Generous donors and coupons from Fred Meyer help each kid stretch their gift cards as far as possible, as Canby Police Sergeant Nate Wallbaum, who coordinates the annual event, explains.
