The volunteers set up some of the tables of toys |
There was a huge variety of items |
Marble runs |
Doll beds |
|

|
Even ride on toys were made for the children |
While waiting for the kids some members discuss events |
All the tables were full of handmade items |
Cars and trucks are one of the favorites |
|

|
Refreshments were provided by Aspire |
As the kids come in everyone has a smile |
Jim and Jackie Shimwell organize the event every year |
It is a massive undertaking with a full year's worth of work |

|
The first students arrive and check out the tables |
The kids are mentally and physically challenged |
They sing Christmas carols before picking a toy |
A few of the many devoted aides |
