A few pictures of the Annual Toy Run...

If it was in July instead of December, we wouldn't need to dress so much.

First, you had to get to the shopping center where it started.

Then the pre-staging area...

Got everyone in a line...

So we could get parked in the staging area...

noses-to-nose.

Scott and I were ready to stay warm.

Several law enforcement jurisdictions helped with traffic control

All of the coffee that was consumed to warm up had to go somewhere.

The dignitaries are ready to go including Santa and a very lovely elf.

Us commoners will be led by the Toy Run flag.

Many people waved us on.

The line in front of me getting across Alameda at Sante Fe...

the line behind me.

Several media outfits were on hand.

This fire truck carried the Christmas Tree.

What it was all about.  Some of the toys are here for the kids to pick up...

More were waiting in the tent.

I've got some videos.  They are Quicktime and over 7MB.

Video 1.  Video 2.  Video 3.
