Most people think that helping the Country
Santa is by delivering toys. Well this is important and has to be
done, but the real work is in the
bagging toys,
moving the bags and assisting the deliverers in retrieving the bags.
On December 23rd, we have to move approx.
1700 bags of toys from the Bagging Barn to Blue Ridge Electric Coop. Building in
Pickens. The
bags have be to loaded onto trucks, hauled to the building and then placed in
numerical order. With enough
help, this can be accomplished in less than three hours. If you are interested in helping, come to
the Country Santa building by 11:00 pm or Blue Ridge Electric around noon on Dec. 23rd. See map
for directions.
On December 24th we need approx. 15 - 20 people to retrieve the bags
at Blue Ridge Electric Coop. for the people who
are delivering. We also need about 10 people at the Country Santa
Building to help retrieve and load the boxes and bikes. All we can promise you is a lot of running, a nice heater
to stand by, hot coffee or hot chocolate and other snacks.
If you are interested in helping, come to
the Country Santa building by 6:30 am on Dec. 24th. You will be stopped at
the top of the Country Santa driveway. Just tell the person at the top that you are
here to help retrieve bags and he will let you through. See
map for directions.
