To many people driving down 412 this past week, you would have thought there was a major police drug raid taking place with up to seven or eight police cars surrounding the Senior Citizens Center building.

Not so, as Hohenwald Police Chief Kip Kelsey explained, as a dozen or more of his officers served Christmas dinners to around a hundred Senior Citizens inside.

Hohenwald Police Department's Blue Christmas was "incredible!" said Senior Citizens director Bill Webb, "as well as the hundred or so meals served and distributed by the police themselves to the senior citizens, there were fruit baskets as well as blankets for the senior citizens to take home to keep them warm on those cold nights."

Police Chief Kip Kelsey went on to say, "A huge thank you must go to our sponsors: CB&S Bank, Farm Bureau, King Tire and Auto and the Dwelling Place! Also to Kenny Durham, Mayor Danny McKnight on guitar and vocals and some Englishman all playing the carols and songs of Christmas. Great work guys, let's do the same next year."
