07 Dec 2014 Kent, WA – This year’s Toy Run has to be the best ever. Mother Nature blessed all with sunny skies and the slight chill in the air was easily handled. When the gates opened at 10:00 am the cars started in with a range that if you named a car or make it came in.
With the Toys for Tots as the main draw and a car show for parking formed perfect picture taking as many had their cameras. With the steady stream of folks dropping off toys the boxes filled up a pair of trucks.
Greeting many of those givers were a number of elves in green, a military man and Tacoma Royalty passing gifts to the helpers and posing for pictures. ProFormance instructors Don and Curtis showed those entrusted in a “lead/follow” around Pacific’s 2.25mi. road course seeing and experiencing for them self what it is like.
Feeding that many people Big Food had them covered with food and drink with many sitting in the sunny stands. We do know the numbers for the toys and cash donations but from what I saw it has to be the best turnout ever. Thanks to all who helped.
