The TerraLoco Toys for Tots & Customer Appreciation night was a great success!  A Lot of Toys for the Tots!   Additionally, there were a lot of smiles all night long!   Below are a few pics taken from the TerraLoco Facebook page.  -- there were a lot of runners, I just grabbed a few here to help you get an idea of how successful the evening was!
