18 Wheels of Christmas
was invited back for the 10th year to Lake Bonavista Promenade where
we are never disappointed. The morning was fairly chilly but the weatherman
promised it would warm up. It never did but the cold certainly did not keep this
community locked in their snug homes. When we arrived Vyetta and Bev were
already there waiting for us. We got the sandwich boards out the music blaring
and then Santa made his arrival known with his huge HOHOHO
voice.

As soon as we had
opened the trailer doors Maureen (the Safeway Manager in this mall) rolled out a
shopping cart full of hampers which her and her team had collected for us the
day before. Talk about a good start to a chilly day. These types of donations
went on from 9:30
AM right up until we
closed the trailer doors at 1:30
PM. We collected an
astonishing 12 Food Bank gaylords full to the brim and $465.00 cash (for baby
food). Lake Bonavista really knows how to
share the spirit of the season. Our 18 Wheels of Christmas Santa put smiles on
many of the youngsters out shopping with their parents his candy canes went
quite fast.
We were treated to the
most delicious lemon mango muffins ever freshly made and still warm by the
ladies at THE FRIDGE. Every year this shop treats us to something special last
year it was apple cider.
Our time for the season
is starting to wind down… this Friday we will be found at Fluor
Canada for their Fluor Cares
Jeans for Food event and then we must send the Christmas Trailer to Jodi and Ken
in Edmonton for Terry Evans of K97
to live in the trailer until it is full. Here’s hoping the weather is warmer for
you this year Terry than it has been in the past.
