ENTERPRISE: Two local law enforcement agencies will compete this weekend for bragging rights, and area children will come out the winners.
The Enterprise Police Department and the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office will go head to head Saturday, Nov. 14, in the Battle of the Badges, a friendly competition to see which department can collect the most toys for the Toys for Tots campaign in the Wiregrass area.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Enterprise, 705 Boll Weevil Circle, ste. 2. Residents are invited to stop by, drop off a new, unwrapped toy and help their favorite department take the lead.
Food trucks will be on site throughout the day, including Naan Stop Döner and Chuck Wagon by The Outpost, giving families a chance to grab a meal while supporting the cause.
Organizers say the goal is to fill as many toy boxes as possible so children across the Wiregrass have a brighter Christmas. “Every toy makes a difference,” organizers said.
The event is supported by Wiregrass Detachment #752 of the Marine Corps League, Wiregrass 2-1-1, Visit Enterprise, the City of Enterprise, the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and the Izell Reese Community Center.
