Kris Kringle arrived at St Catherine Hospital on Christmas Eve with Garden City Police Department help. Kids and parents enjoyed the visit though some youngsters, like five day old Caden Uthe and one week old Louisa Obregon, were too young to recognize him. Sergeant Roger Bailey wore the suit, sharing memories of hospital Christmases while aiming to lift spirits with blankets from the Linus Project and gifts from Target and Wal-Mart. He noted this was the first hospital visit by the department this year and planned to return next year with Christmas off.
