Great to see folks signing up for the Toy-Run, I will be at the north meet up point.

I plan on being there a bit before we drive off to get to Children's Hospital. I figure we need at least 45-50 minutes to get to TCH in the Saturday AM traffic.

We just picked up some toys over the weekend and ready for Saturday!

 

REMINDER

Whitlow and Eleanor will meet everybody at the Hospital. We are 15 Minutes away.

HELP
So Where is the North meetup point exactly? Brighton, Lafayette, Erie, or Broomfield. Google and Bing are of no help. :-(


If I type in "469 W 168th Ave, Broomfield, CO" in Google maps it says it is "E 168th Ave, Broomfield, CO"

If I type in "469 W 168th Ave, Broomfield, CO" in Bing Maps it says it is "469 W 168th Ave, Erie, CO 80516"

Since 168th is also known as Baseline Rd. When I use that in Google I get 469 W Baseline Rd, Lafayette, CO and 469 East Baseline Road, Brighton, CO. I can change it back to 168th and I end up in 469 W 168th Ave, Brighton, CO.

 

I got it figured out. It is here:

The Children's Hospital North Campus
469 West State Highway 7
Broomfield, CO 80023

 

WOW! what a great turn out for the Toy Run. Thanks to to all that participated. He would have thought that you could fit so many toys in a Mini. If figured we would just need the one be cart and it was filled up in seconds.

Thanks for coming out and supporting such a wonderful cause. I know the Childrens Hospital appreciates all the gifts. See you next year for our 10th year Toy Run.
