Good food, dancing and fun. For those of you that missed it shame on you. I would like to thank everyone for their generosity for the Toy s for Tot s. We had two volunteer fire fighters from the Palm Coast Fire department there to receive the toys. They arrived in there own vehicle and there were so many toys they had to call for a back up vehicle. The fire department sent a bigger truck to pick up the toys, a hook and ladder truck. They thanked us for the 8 plus extra large bags of toys. They had to stuff them in the back of the cab not sure where the extra men road on the way back to the station.
