Toys for Tots 8th annual NE toy collection and wheeling event

Yes, across the street from where some folks gassed up when we
left Hannaford. The wife and I talked about staying there before.

 

You're a good dude, Rob

 

If anyone has a Five Below store near them, it's an excellent spot for toy shopping

Thumbs up!

 

It's all about the kids.

 

I was shopping at Five Below this morning and it was obvious to the cashier what I was doing.

She was familiar with the challenges faced by kids in foster care and said she'd asked one little girl why the child's requests for Christmas toys were such small things.

The child's reply: "so it will fit in my suitcase"

This is why we do this, guys...

 

May be in, we shall see. Been a bit since i went out to these trails.

 

I'll be there!!

 

Hey Jared @crashngiggles I called and got permission to host the event at the store. I've also picked up the banners, table and boxes. On Monday I have to remember to call and reserve the trailer.

 

Perfect sounds good.

 

Anyone heading down from the Concord, NH area that I could send some toys down to Rob with?

 

@TacoTuesday603 is a little south of you. Pretty sure he’s going, if not we work near each other. Could TW express them for you.

 

I’m 50/50 but I could pass off to you in Lawrence

 

Just a reminder. This event is only a week and a half away.

 

Did the shopping tonight! Without kids I’m never in the toy aisle but toys ain’t cheap! We felt like even just 3 years ago we could get so much more with less money. I feel for the families struggling for sure. Great event and sad I can’t make it this year but Jared will have a truck load!

 

Sad to say I am out for this, have way too much random stuff to get done before it snows

 

Second most important part of the day - What's the cuisine looking like?

I realized last night - we're out of town for the holiday, coming back mid/late day Friday, I think, so I might be a bit limited. I could maybe pull of salsa. But I want to see what others are thinking/planning and I can come up with something.

 

Seconded, who’s bringing what and what do people want to eat?
