Driven by Janelle

This week we share a recap of the 48th annual Olympia toy run that happened on Saturday December 6th in Lacey WA. So many people came out in support, and it really brought the community together, as it does each year.

We chatted with Santa Joe who is happy to be onsite once again, as he has done each year so far. We got to watch wonderful shows by the Seattle Cossacks and the Tenino T 90 Drill Team. Speaking with both teams was a wonderful experience, they bring so much joy and tradition to this day.

We also had the opportunity to speak with Sassy Sally who is an integral part of putting together this wonderful event. This year brought higher numbers in donations and a robust number of riders, rain or shine. Heck even snow won’t stop this community. This year we were lucky enough to get some warming sun breaks throughout the day.
