Yule Toy Tourney III
(2008-12-13 - Site opens at 10:00 AM & Closes at 6:00 PM)
Saint Georges
The Yuletide Season is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate with one another. It is a time of joy and laughter, and a time to remember how each of us has been blessed with good fortune throughout the year. It is a time to curl up with loved ones beside a warm fire on a chilly winter’s night and enjoy the peaceful joy of the season. Let us all also remember those who need our help the most at this festive time of year. The Canton of St. Georges would like all to join us for our annual Yule Toy Tourney and help bring the spirit of Yuletide to needy children in the upstate of South Carolina. Each new, unwrapped toy donated will be hand delivered on Christmas Eve to children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to experience this magical time of the year!
The Country Santa has been working many years to give toys to needy children in the upstate. ALL toys will be donated to this most worthy organization! The website for The Country Santa is http://www.countrysanta.org/
