This quarter, join the Ada County Sheriff’s Office for a fun, winter escape! We’ll have multiple craft and game stations, plenty of tasty hot cocoa, and some awesome Deputies ready to chat (or compete!) with you.

Come warm up, sip some cocoa, and enjoy a cozy morning of creating and connecting. We can’t wait to see you there!
