Tip-A-Cop
The 16th Annual "Tip-A-Cop" fundraiser for Connecticut Special Olympics was be held at Chips Pub II on Boston Post Rd. Officers waited tables with Chips Pub staff in order to earn "tips". A drawing was also held with many items being donated by local merchants. All proceeds benefit Connecticut Special Olympics. Official Special Olympics and "Tip-A-Cop" T-shirts and merchandise available. The event has proven to be a great family event and lots of fun for all ages.
