Community Event - Toy Giveaway at Walk for Wishes 5-19-2018


Community Event - Walk for Wishes at Main St Square in Rapid City, SD

The Rapid City Woodworkers Association supported the Knecht Home Center booth at The Walk for Wishes event on May 19, 2018 at Main St Square in Rapid City, SD - with setup starting at 8 am.  The event started at 8:30 and ended by noon.

Attendees (10):  Danny and Mary Green, Bob and Kathie Buchanan, Paul Douglas, Darwin and Lauree Buus, Rick Weisbeck, Ed Pike, Karl Burke, Harley Schmadeke, and Frank Di Ceasare.

We brought blank unfinished wooden toy vans for kids to color with crayons.  When the kids were finished coloring, we installed wheels on each toy.  We brought blanks, wheels, axles, and glue, wheel presses, jigs and crayons.  Danny and Mary Green brought the 3-track racer for the kids to test out their cars after coloring.  This was a fun community event. 

It was a good turnout, despite cool and windy weather, but we got good responses from the kids; about 45 blank vans were colored by kids.  Thanks to Knechts for hosting the booth and inviting us to this event.
