The Annual Silver Spur Toy Ride was a great success! 45 riders and their horses, decked out in Christmas attire, made their way through the streets of Parksville with a wagon, collecting toys for the SOS Caring for Community at Christmas program. The Silver Spur Riding Club stopped at SOS for a snack and hot chocolate, and then carried on to Stanford Place where they collected more gifts! Their efforts brought in a very large pile of toys, $650, plus $130 in gift cards. Thank you to everyone who took part in and supported this wonderful event, benefitting our residents in need. This will go a long way in brightening many local Christmases.

Come behold a fantastic, warm, winter sight as the Silver Spur Toy Ride kicks off it’s annual event this Sunday, Nov. 18. In past years, up to 40 horses and riders have donned Christmas attire and paraded through the streets of Parksville, collecting toys for families in-need. The gifts help stock the SOS Toy Shop, where low-income parents, caregivers and grandparents can shop for free. Join in the fun this Sunday. New, unwrapped gifts are gratefully accepted to help stock the SOS Toy Shop, or just come cheer the riders on!
