(under $10) to the event and deposit it into the collection bin. We will
be doing this for all the events this year so if you forget to do it at
this one you can do it at another event during the year. We are hoping that
we can collect enough toys through the year to fill our new trailer.Location: We will be located on the south side of the Pier in beautiful Pismo Beach.
