For anyone wishing to get one last glimpse at Santa before the Christmas holiday, there will be three opportunities around Putnam County this weekend. 

Santa will be at the Bainbridge Volunteer Fire Department, 500 W. Pat Rady Way, Saturday morning from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. 

Those attending can get their picture taken with Santa, as well as enjoy milk and cookies and receive a gift. 

There will also be an opportunity for children to visit with Santa at the Putnam County Courthouse Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon as part of the Community Christmas with Cops, sponsored by the Putnam County Fraternal Order of Police. 

The free event features photos with Santa, snacks, crafts and a toy for children. While the event is free, anyone wishing to make a donation can do so or bring nonperishable food items, as well as dog or cat items. 

In addition, those with pets are asked to bring them to Robe-Ann Park for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus on Saturday. 

The event will take place at the park office, 403 Bloomington St., from noon until 2 p.m. Photos will be available for a donation to Putnam County Animal Care and Hoosier Bakery will be offering treats for pets.
