Family and Community Services decorated their halls with the theme of “Elf on a Shelf.” The unit hid an elf doll at various places throughout the courthouse and in other county facilities, sent out “Elf Alerts” every morning, and provided clues so that county staff could guess where it was.

Jeni Tenor, who helped plan the “Elf on a Shelf” theme for Family and Community Services, was quite excited about her unit’s hallways. “We didn’t win, but we were the most festive, the most competitive, maybe,” she said. Robert Cloud Photo
