    What 'toy' is always an issue. We went and loaded up last night, lots of football/soccer/basketballs. Got home and put it in the car, discovered I had a little more room so went back for more this morning. I've always been more of a 'quantity vs. quality' buyer for this event, I'd rather lots of kids get a toy than a few kids get a really nice toy. I also try to buy things that they can play with for a long time, hence the balls. I also threw in a Barbie or 2. ;)

    I printed 85 maps this morning. Then Jonathan I I talked this afternoon and apparently they have invited several of their clients and some guests totaling about 25 additional. So I will go and print about 30 more maps. If we give out 1 map to each car and do not have any left over that will be that will be 115 cars which would be a Toy Run Record by 10 cars!!!! For those alumni the record run was the one to Justin Texas and the toy donation went from the front wheel of the firetruck to the back wheel and out 12 feet. If my computer had not crashed yesterday morning I would have included a picture.

    With that in mind, I need everyone to get there pretty early I will have a driver's meeting at 9:15 AM and the first group will leave at 9:30. Depending on the count we will launch in groups of 12 or 15. This will be decided tomorrow when we have the real car count. Thanks to all of you!!!

    Jimpo I know what you mean, Carolyn went out and bought a bunch of stuff, decided it was not enough and went back for round 2. If will be interesting to see if it all fits in two F cars.

    Just an update on the Food Truck coming out tomorrow morning; they called this afternoon and said that the actual Brunch Truck itself is having some mechanical issues so they will bring out one of their other trucks.

    They will still be serving their breakfast menu items off of that truck though so those that are hungry will still have a breakfast option on site.

    Look forward to seeing everyone in the AM !!

    Looks like the weather is gonna be perfect last time I checked.

    Fantastic run today Don, THANK YOU! It may have been the best roads yet, lots of turns, little traffic, few towns and other obstacles. We had a ball. Thanks also to JP for hosting our gathering spot.

    It looked like it might be a record haul for toys as well, will post some pictures later.

    Sorry Don; I wussed out.
    The car was running like crap (probably old fuel) and one tire was leaking air.
    I should get a Honda.

    Thanks Don and Carolyn not only for an awesome Toy Run today but also all the predecessors you brought to fruition. The generosity of all the participants is only exceeded by the hard work and care the 2 of you have devoted to organizing these events.

    Cheers to all who made this a rousing success!
