If your children's lists to Santa have not made it to the mailbox yet, you still have time to bring them to the Door County Sheriff's Department.  The office set up its special North Pole mailbox inside the Door County Justice Center's vestibule last week to accept letters to deliver to Santa in time for next week's midnight ride. After dropping off the letter, children are invited inside the Door County Justice Center to pick out a prize of either a candy cane filled with candy or a book. Captain Carl Waterstreet says the service is just another way the Door County Sheriff's Department wants to connect with the community it serves.

If you cannot make it to the Door County Justice Center in Sturgeon Bay during regular business hours, don't fret. You use the phone inside the vestibule to call the dispatch center and let them know you are dropping off a letter. Letters to Santa will be accepted through Christmas Eve.
