I found the following info for the Christmas Caravan for Kids on colorado4x4.org. I was not able to find a link for a flyer yet. This is a really fun event if you've never done it before. I'll plan to join the crowd at the Westminster location.
The 10th Annual Christmas Caravan for Kids
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, December 1st, at the Jefferson County Event Center from 10 am – 2 pm. Please save the date and plan to join us.
A little background info—
In 2003, an ongoing community service project entitled “Christmas Caravan for Kids” was begun. Each year, in conjunction with area vendors and 4-Wheelers throughout Colorado’s Front Range, we sponsor a toy drive and “meet and greet” to benefit the Marine’s Toys for Tots Campaign. 4-Wheelers from around the Front Range meet in pre-determined locations and “caravan” to the event site where the USMC’s MACS 23rd Air Unit from Buckley Air Force Base is waiting to receive the toys donated by participants. For each of our first two events, we were the second largest single day toy donation the Marines received (second only to the Denver Bronco Toy Drive). In 2005, we became the largest single day donation ever received by Denver’s Toys for Tots campaign. Following the toy drive, participants are treated to a “meet and greet” with area vendors which includes a FREE lunch and FREE raffle drawing.
All vehicles are welcome—daily drivers, trail rigs, tow rigs, buggies, trailer queens, trucks, hot rods, muscle cars, bikes, family sedans, and…… bring your ride along with new unwrapped toys to donate to help assure no child goes without a Christmas.
NEW THIS YEAR, the USMC’s CLB-453 unit is host to the Toys for Tots campaign. It’s a brand new unit and we’ll get more information about them posted as we’re able. We also have 2 new caravan locations, one in Castle Rock and one in Brighton. Also, the northern location is now official!!! Finally, we’ve moved the East Metro and Southwest Metro Location to welcome Les Schwab Tires as a new sponsor with CCFK this year. The Southeast Metro Location moves slightly to Fay Myers Motorcycle World.
