On Saturday, for the 55th year, the firemen, assisted by numerous volunteers, distributed new bicycles, dolls, all sorts of other toys, and treat bags to local children who, otherwise, might not have a joyful holiday. Known formerly as Toys for Tots, the program is now called Toys for Kids. Local coordinator this year was Toran Hedgepath, who quickly called attention to the many organizations and individuals whose contributions of money, toys, and time made the day a success.
