Toys for Kids Christmas Cruise
« on: July 25, 2008, 04:41:32 PM »
 The Four Wheel Stampeders once again early, but a July announcement will give everyone a chance to get the word out and set the day aside for the 7th annual Toys for Kids Christmas Cruise. I know I know, Christmas isn’t exactly on everyone’s mind when its 25 degrees out.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be meeting in Bowness Park again prior to the convoy, but more details will come along closer to the date.

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of people there be they new or old hat to the event.

Just was wondering if there is anyway we can get some magnet door signs to let people know what is going on when we are driving to the hospital and all the people on the sides are wondering why all the 4X4's are being police escorted, it may help bring more people out the following years or even bring in donations.

It's your basic toy drive.  Everyone shows up at the park in Bowness in their rigs with toys... some people dress their rigs up with Christmas decorations.  Then we all convoy up to the Childrens Hospital to drop the toys off.  It's a pretty good time for a good cause.

People are encouraged to decorate thier rigs with Christmas decorations. If everyone would take the time to do that I bet most people we see along the way would realize it's a Christmas type event and not a bunch of 4x4's being escorted out fo town. ;)

I've often thought we should charge everyone $20 dollars to enter the convoy and if you put some decorations on your rig you get your $20 back. Incentive. :)
