Not even the cold temperatures could put a dampner on the 2nd Annual Just Klownin VA CC Toy Drive. It was much too important an event to let a Jack Frost get in the way. There are children in need of some love this Christmas and that's just what the East Coast Lowrider community and their friends brought. I counted at least 25 cars with some rolling 3 and 4 people deep. Members of the Individuals CC along with Sick Kreations Lowrider Club came out , bringing toys and goodwill for this important event.
The K-Mart in Fairfax was generous in allowing the event to be staged in their parking lot , and that was smart on their part, as through out the whole day I watched people coming out of the store with bags of toys to donate.
It was incredible mix of lowrider cars, lowrider bicycles, vintage american cars , mini-trucks, and one sky-high Donk sporting 28"inch rims. The crowd was just as diverse as the cars , and it felt like one big family. By my best estimates it looked like there were at least a 150 to 200 toys that were going to the kids at Fairoaks Childrens Hospital and The Toys for Tots program.
I am grateful to the Just Klownin CC for their generous spirit and for hosting this Toy Drive. The club put out the welcome mat for any and all, and provided food, music and friendship to all that attended. I look forward to making this a regular stop on my events calendar.
COMER COMO REYES - Eating Like Kings
The Just Klownin CC knows how to do it right. Not only were they providing toys for children in need, but they were feeding the masses too. The club really took good care of the folks who participated in the toy drive, and made sure that there was plenty of food for everyone. All day long the grill was going , and the drinks were flowing. Not only were there traditional burgers and dogs, but they brought out the big stuff too...I'm talking chicken and ribs seasoned and cooked to perfection. There was even one of the best pumpkin cakes I've ever tasted . Between the cars, bicycles, the toys piling up and the smell of the food cooking, people who were not even part of the event were stopping by to check things out.
I'd like to give a big thanks to Patty Dukez of Servin' Em Lowrider DVD's for the copy of Ride of a Lifetime. Your work in the Lowrider community is inspirational, and you are obviously well loved and respected with in it. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. I hope that my Blogazine can touch even a small part of the Lowrider community that way you have.
If you'd like to see what the East Coast Lowrider Movement is all about there is no better place to see video footage that captures the soul of the life than on one of Servin'Em lowrider DVDs.
