NAZARETH, Pa. -
Police made a visit to several kids’ homes Saturday morning — and the kids loved every minute of it! It was the sixth annual “Shop with a Cop” event, where children get to shop for Christmas presents with an officer from the Colonial Regional Police. Donations made all the gift purchases possible.
He’s making a list and checking it twice, but “he” is not Santa. This is nine year-old Zach from Bath, Northampton County.
“I asked half of my family what they wanted, and they said it, so I put it on a list,” he said.
Zach is one a handful of lucky kids who got to “Shop with a Cop” Saturday morning.
“The officers pick the children up in the police cars,” said Chief Roy Seiple. “We put the lights on and the sirens on.”
Then the kids shop — for themselves and for their families.
“Each child got, I believe, 450 dollars,” said Sgt. Mike Enstrom.
The money was donated by police, local businesses, and everyday citizens.
The kids each got 450 dollars; fifty bucks goes toward a toy for the Marines’ Toys for Tots program, which gives to those in need. Many of these kids come from similar backgrounds.
“This is probably something that these people would not be able to do had it not been for these donations,” said Seiple.
Enstrom added: “It was a lot of fun, watching the kids with the smile of their face.”
Walmart donated the free wrapping and some shopping helpers; Red Robin provided the free lunch. This whole day provided a different view of the police than these kids may be used to.

“Nine times out of ten, when you come in contact with us, it’s because something
bad happened,” said Seiple. “Today is something good.”
And for a good day, seven year-old Lucas has a simple reply.
“Thank you!”
The kids are excited to open presents from Red Robin that were given to each child

Colorful décor, high energy vibe, familiar food and drink from lunch through late night

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers is a casual restaurant chain (the Tilghman Square location is one of about 450 across the United States and Canada) that prides itself on made-to-order burgers, fresh ingredients, Bottomless Steak Fries and employees who will take extra steps to ensure that customers are satisfied.
Gourmet burgers start with fresh beef and are built into tall creations with additional ingredients that define thematic flavors. The Whisky River BBQ Burger gets its identity from signature Whisky River BBQ Sauce drizzled over a burger dressed with onion straws, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. The Banzai Burger hints at its Hawaiian roots with grilled pineapple and teriyaki marinade. The Royal Red Robin Burger, in addition to bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato, is topped with a fried egg. Non-beef vegetarian and vegan burger patties are also available, and guests can ask for a custom mix of ingredients to build their personal perfect burger.
It’s not ALL burgers at Red Robin, though. There are numerous combinations of chicken sandwiches, wraps, entrees and entrée salads such as Southwest grilled chilled salad and apple harvest chicken salad. All burgers and sandwiches are served with Red Robin’s Bottomless Steak Fries, meaning free refills. It’s probably not as widely known, but customers who do not wish to have fries may substitute a number of other sides, including a side salad, steamed broccoli or carrots, coleslaw or melon.
Shareable appetizers include standard fare of wings, dips and quesadillas as well as the visually outstanding Towering Onion Rings. Thirteen breaded and fried onion rings in graduated diameters come to the table on a vertical rod, looking like a giant edible version of the classic baby toy of stacking rings.
Free refills are offered on many of the beverages. Alcoholic drinks tend to be large showpieces of fruity mixtures in specialty glasses.

The Red Robin gourmet hamburger restaurant on Route 248 in Lower Nazareth Township is scheduled to complete facility upgrades in mid-November, owners said on Tuesday.
That means interior and exterior enhancements to the restaurant that opened in 1995, the second Red Robin for the Lehigh Valley.
Menu prices for the Lower Nazareth restaurant will roll back to 1995. The price rollback of 19 menu items will run Nov. 28 to Dec. 11, and include selections like $7.29 bacon cheeseburgers, $3.95 Absolute Lemonade drinks, $3.99 fried zucchini and $7.29 crispy chicken sandwiches.
The Lower Nazareth restaurant is owned by Lehigh Valley Restaurant Group, the Lower Macungie-based group that owns nearly 20 Red Robin restaurants, including all five in the Valley.
The group held a similar price rollback after last year’s renovation of the Red Robin in Tilghman Square Shopping Center in South Whitehall.
The restaurant group also recently opened a Red Robin next to Cabela’s outside Hamburg.
