The Twilight Cruisers Annual Toys for Kids Cruise-In

The Twilight Cruisers host the Toys for Kids Cruise-In on Dec. 5 at the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing on State Rd 484 in Belleview, Florida. The Christmas-themed cruise-in and swap meet collects toys and raises money for Interfaith Charity. Dec. 6 is the rain date.

Vehicle registration runs from 8 a.m. to noon. Pre-registration costs $15. Day-of-show entry is $20 or a new toy of equal value. Spectators attend free, donations are accepted and attendees are asked to bring a new toy. Parking is free.

The show presents 40 peoples’ choice trophies, 15 judged trophies, a Best of Show trophy and the Don Garlits Trophy. Dash plaques go to the first 125 entries. Giveaways are valued at more than $1,500 and include a giant Christmas stocking and a giant ladies’ gift bag. A 50/50 drawing is planned; last year’s split-the-pot winner received more than $500.

A Marion County Sheriff’s unit plans a special appearance with its RAM vehicle and a helicopter, and other special vehicles are expected. Vendor spots measure 14 by 30 feet and cost $25.

Registration opens at 8:00 AM.
