REXBURG - 36 participants showed up today to run in the 5k Turkey Trot Run.

"It was fun, got us up on a Saturday morning got the kids out, It was also an opportunity to bring some presents for the shop with a cop contribution. It was a lot of fun," said Charles Daughbity.

"there's steam going off your head right now, it's 13 degrees outside, what's your thoughts about that?" I asked.

"It was crazy, but it was fun haha," replied John Burnon.

"The Mayor's Youth is working a lot with the shop with a cop program...I think we collected a lot of barbie dolls, baby dolls, Play-dough, a lot of the things kids enjoy," said Kimberly Wilson, a Recreation Intern with the City of Rexburg.

On the other side of Rexburg, the Paul Mitchell Hair Academy held an interesting fundraiser of their own.

"We're helping with shop with a cop, which helps bring Christmas to families in need in Eastern Idaho. So we're hosting a princess and pirate day, to help raise money to help families purchase gifts to have a really good Christmas," said Kevin Kolditz, with the Paul Mitchell Hair Academy.

Turning little girls into their dream princesses put a smile on a few faces. There was also a baked cookie sale, and a canned food drive. It was definitely a lot warmer at this shop with a cop fundraiser, than that 13 degrees runners than in this morning.

The toys collected here at the Turkey Trot will join others at the Rexburg Police station.
