It was a cold December day for the Aspire Toy Giveaway |
The WNYWoodturners 1 make toys throughout the year just for this day |
Some of the "Santas" from the turning club arrive and begin unloading the hundreds of toys they've brought |
The unloading and arranging takes quite a while |
|

|

|

|

|
As more of the Santas arrive, the pace picks up |
Jim Shimwell leads the effort for the WNYWoodturner 1 club |
There are dolls, complete with clothes and blankets, and galloping horses ... |
along with cars and trains |
|

|

|

|

|
There were the very popular pull toy dinosaurs ... |
along with more cars and carts filled with building blocks |
Of course, being in Buffalo, there were buffalo |
More building blocks, number and color cue cards, and the unloading continues |
|

|

|

|

|
More pull along toys as well as the heavy equipment toys |
How could you have a Christmas party with plenty of food? |
With the toys arranged and ready, the Turners 1 Santas take a moment for a group photo |
The Santas are ready, so are the kids |
