Hey there all! 

Just some notes:

I'd like to give a big thanks to All that are donating to this cause!  Awesome job so far, can't wait for the event this Saturday...

Just got a very kind donation from Sport Chek - about $1500 in sports equipment.  Thanks Kyle for that one!

Please remember to bring your cash if you wish to bid on the 2 WestJet tickets... remember these are anywhere WestJet flies.  Your Choice.
Auction Closes at 11:30 am - Dec 10th.  (Proceeds go to the Mustard Seed)

Also, breakfast is only $2 - bring your appetite (food served while supplies last, kitchen closes 11:45am)

Coffee and Hot Chocolate are free

Decorating Contest - be sure to decorate your rig.... many prizes to be won!  Judging is at 11:15am.

Thanks you all for your support... see you Saturday!

Here are the items I've picked up for the toy run on behalf of the CJA.

We got stuff from age 3 up to teens.  Lots of games, toys, electronic keyboards and drums, and digital cameras.  All electronics have batteries attached and the cameras have SD cards.

Incredible!  Awesome, can't thank you guys enough!  Support has been overwhelming.
I just had a bit of a chat with Rick at the Mustard Seed... they are very excited to receive such an overwhelming donation. 

So far support for this year's Toy Drive has been phenomenal! 
Can't wait to see what we can pull together tomorrow.

See you all at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Hall at 10am.

Remember, we are in the Hearth Room.

Thanks to you all for you help and support!

Hey great time today.

Lots of toys for the kids and it was a great turnout. Enjoyed the ride downtown and I look forward to doing this again. Everyone was nice even though i hadn't met anyone before.  Thanks everyone.

It was great to see the big turnout.  I agree it would be nice for everyone to have tags with their CJA names. 

Thanks to those that organized everything.

Huge thanks to Richard a.k.a SmilinVamp and all those who made this event possible. This was my first year participating in any kind of charity event, and I couldn't be happier to have been apart of something so great. All the jeep guys and toyota guys really came together to help out the mustard seed in an "overwhelming" fashion. Thanks to Clay and his daughters for bearing the chilly morning and judging everyones decorated vehicles, a little friendly competition amongst fellow 4x4'ers and prizes always makes for a good time. I will post up pictures of the winner and runners up shortly, as well as a few other pics. Can't wait till next year and hopefully the parking lot will be filled with 4x4 s and not antiques shoppers!
Happy Holidays!

Hello Everyone,

Another Toy Run is complete.  The Mustard Seed was both grateful and overwhelmed by the generosity of the four wheeler community.  I am also once again proud of what we all put together.

I would like to thank all who participated.  And I hope you all had a bit of fun despite some hick ups along the way.  

A special thanks to all who volunteered their time to help my wife and I pull this all together.  Without good volunteers these events would never be possible.

I’d also like to thank, everyone who donated prizes there were a lot this year.  WestJet, Modern Motors, Novatel, Home Depot, and the Four Wheel Stampeders. Tim Horton's coffee - Donated to us by Dave at Foothills Timmy's.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, and a great New Year!

Thanks,
-Richard
