2015 Christmas Caravan for Kids- 5 December 2015

Post by akaFrankCastle »

It's time to bring this back as an event not to be missed. You all know the holiday season is approaching. Come on out in your Broncos, or ANYTHING, bring some toys and let's help to make Christmas a little better for some kids. Also, you can win some raffle prizes.

This event was one of my favorites in the past and I believe that it is even better in it's new location.

When: December 5th, 2015
Breakfast will commence between 8:30-9:00am. Departure to the Christmas Caravan at 10:00am.

Where: Breakfast (The Grubbery 4880 Havana St, Denver, CO 80239) Christmas Caravan/Follow-on event (Lincoln College of Technology 11194 E 45th Ave, Denver, CO 80239)

More information here: http://www.christmascaravanforkids.com/

RSVP, here or on Facebook, would be nice so we can anticipate seating at The Grubbery.

Has there been much traction for this event? People interested? I'm still interested, but I don't have a top on the truck so if real bad weather I won't be able to drive it.

A couple of people chimed in on the December breakfast thread. Obviously no one has chimed in here. I'll be there even if I'm the only one.

Not sure about the breakfast.

Good time today. Only took the one pic but met a couple new members. Also stopped by BroncoCrawler's booth. His new business http://dustydoggarage.com is in Wheat Ridge so good to know a fellow Bronco owner has a shop if anyone is looking for mechanical work.

What a great day, and for a great cause. So much support from the off-road world and so many toys donated. I had a blast, it was great to see old friends and meet new ones. Always great to see what others have done to their trucks and the uniqueness of every bronco. I look forward to many more events this year! Thanks for the great day guys!

I could never figure out why akaFrankCastle always pushed for the Christmas Caravan until the breakfast. Gentleman, I believe Kris Kringle is among us. We just call him Zach.
