this is a great event and i believe our third time running it and it gets bigger every year. its for a great cause aswell. help the kids and have a great day of wheeling.

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

ill be there with all the the lil swampers this year

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

nice to see that there will be one. but just curious why so late? last year it was cold and was spoken of a little earlier.
the way the weather is we may be playin out in the snow ;)

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

last year was november 29th, and it was hardly cold hell i was on a dirt bike all day and was dying i was so warm

the date was the earliest i could get the hall for the dinner, since everything had been so slow i was wondering if i should even bother doing it this year so i waited longer than i should have- if this year is another success ill book next years on the 7th of this year for early october

ONE THING I DID NOT POST requirements are one new un wrapped toy or cash donation and this year ill add any un opened non perishable food items
i am told again this year colouring books and crayons are always on short demand, i usually hit the dollar store or liquidation world and grab 20 bucks worth of them plus a toy or some sort i usually go a bit over board
there is not a dollar amount for the toy anything is better than nothing, and being a big kid as this gets bigger and bigger so do the toys

also for the dinner WEATHER YOU THINK I KNOW YOUR COMING OR NOT I NEED A PM OR EMAIL(parkpre5@hotmail.com) so i can keep track and give the hall REAL numbers

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

im in for sure, wont miss it

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

also can anyone design a flyer and print it out? i dont have a printer, include date web address, santas helpers my email parkpre5@hotmail.com, option dinner 15$ rsvp by november 1st etc trucks quads and dirt bikes etc welcome

and again like ill probably do in every post, ill include I MUST BE NOTIFIED FOR THE DINNER, last year we had 40 people come out for the dinner id like to get even more and i MUST NO BY THE 1ST of novmeber, also last year we ended up helping just over 300 homes for the holidays

and for those that may show some interest in coming from further away quad or truck ill offer free camping at my house since the new yard is more than bigg enough, it wont be fancy but it is free

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

You know I am in for sure.

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

What r the trails like that you go on, I'm running pretty much stock.


AL

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

im in for dinner for sure.. gonna try and get a truck ready to play too cause its way more fun!

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

as a reminder i HAVE to KNOW in advance if your coming to the dinner things will be done differently this year for the dinner, before we hit the trail at noon we will be taking the money for dinner and putting names on a list if your name is not on that list YOU WILL NOT BE EATING PERIOD so weather you assume i know your coming or not if i dont here from you you wont be eating i need one of three things a PM an EMAIL or A POST in this thread. then i will add your name to the list on here to keep track
AGAIN ZERO LAST MINUTE DINNER ATTENDANTS IF YOU DONT PRE PAY BEFORE WE HIT THE TRAIL YOU DONT EAT yes i have a way to keep track your welcome to come back and shoot the breeze but you will not be able to eat PERIOD last year we ran out and many that show every year didnt get to eat and i wont have that again so i have to hear from each person coming, i have said this 20 times and ill say it 30 more

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

bak up to the top,

im actually a bit disapointed inthe number of people for the dinner figured i would have had more by now

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

yeah man the dinner was pretty good last year especially after a long day wheelin..

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

can anyone design a flyer quickly?

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

All the areas we hit have ways around the hard parts. Completely stock friendly.

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

hey mike put me down for 6 swamper

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

I'll be heading to the event with diner also. Just 1

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

GREAT, thanks for posting

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

We're in Chris. Christina &3 kids

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

i still got the flyers from last year just change the date

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

20 people going to the dinner so far id like to double that if at all possible....

ok here is where the dinner change comes into play, before we leave to hit the trails that day ill have a table or something set up out from the the hall and i am asking people pre pay for dinner, my wife will be taking name down and making a list or something (have not ironed out that detail yet) to try to keep better tabs on who is going this year i desperetly want to avoid what happen last year and having a proper head count prior and being pre payed is the only way i can figure to do this!!

thanks
mike

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

sounds good to me cause if it wasnt for my wife tosave some food i wouldnt of ate last year cause i had to go pick up my kids

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

its also a good idea to bring food.. last year i forgot to bring a lunch but the guy that i gave a ride too had a pepperoni stash.. cooler is always a good thing

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

ill prolly be in :)

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

Where a bouts will you all be riding? The wife and I are talking about maybe coming out. Sounds fun, and a great cause too.

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

east side seaway hills, same place we all end up going every year, and for some of us most weekends it has some tough stuff for the modded guys and plenty for stockers as well

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

I wonder if Woody will still have the 4 door for us to park on?

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

Were do you guy go in?? By the old MJ Jones lot along East Main St. tunnel? Or closer to Port?

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

closer to port stockers will most likely go in on 3rd consession road off of the 140 its the closest easy entrance to the lions hall

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
 

rob im sure there will be something for the frog to park on lol

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th

Re: toy drive 2009(niagara) november 7th
