There are more toys this year than last. The people just donate here. Living in a village like this is just a pleasure. This is the most donations we've ever had.

A lot of the (parents) had tears in their eyes. We appreciate all the support from the community.

Each year it has grown. The village, schools and businesses have been so great.

I'd like to thank the village administration and the school administrations and all the business men and women, churches and the people who contributed cash. To those who contributed cash, they help make it one of the most successful Toys for Tots Program in 16 years. The American Legion really appreciates all the support from the community.

Live well; do it now; and SMILE!

Years ago it was a really good way of making a living, and we're finally trying to correct that as an industry to get the cost back up (for wages).
