Last Saturday, Eden Prairie police officers and firefighters took part in a special event called Holidays with Heroes.

They partnered with 11 children for an afternoon of shopping at Eden Prairie Center followed by lunch.

This is the 11th year the Police and Fire Departments have hosted the event. The same generous benefactor has funded the event every year through the Eden Prairie Crime Prevention Fund. In addition, Scheels donated rides on their Ferris wheel and Mario’s Pizza donated food.

The EPPD would like to thank the Crime Prevention Fund for the opportunity to celebrate the holidays with kids in our community.
