2013 Toys for Tots Tour. Florida Dec 6-7
This coming weekend is the 2013 Toys for Tots Tour in Palatka, Florida. Below are the details from last year that I updated. Russ, the organizer has been busy, so I have taken the liberty of posting this. I have done this for several years and it is a good time. Hope someone else from the site can join us in the run.

This is followed by a lunch at the Welaka lodge and later a live band party at the host hotel.
