On Friday, December 18, members of the Bastrop County Republican Executive Committee gathered to present their gifts of toys and cash to benefit the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office (BSCO) “Brown Santa” Program. The toy drive began in earnest following Thanksgiving, collecting toys, children's clothing and cash donations of $1,150. The Bastrop County Republican Party (BCRP) selected BCSO’s Brown Santa program because of their common county-wide interest, coverage and representation.
