Christmas seems to sneak up on everyone. December is four months away but the Hall County Sheriff’s Office is preparing for the holiday by raising money for its annual bicycle drive. To give back to the community and help children whose families unable to afford many gifts, the Sheriff’s Office provides a Christmas bicycle program that gives away about 100 bikes to local children. Money raised to purchase the bikes comes from fundraisers held throughout the year, including the Sheriff’s Show & Shine Car Show.
