Donate Toys, Get A Free Pony Ride At The Stable At Lord Stirling Park

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — A special Toys for Tots event will be held at Lord Stirling Park where those who donate can get a free pony ride.

The event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Stables at Lord Stirling Park at 256 S. Maple Avenue, Basking Ridge.

Donate a new, unwrapped toy and donators with children 10 years old or younger and weigh 95 pounds or less can get a free pony ride, weather permitting.

The toy collection drive is sponsored by Somerset County Sheriff Darrin J. Russo and the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

"Every child deserves a Christmas. The holidays can be one of the most trying times for families who feel they cannot give their children what they need," said Russo. "During these difficult economic times, let’s help put a smile on the face of every child by donating an unwrapped, new toy."

Gift Guidelines
Toy donations should be new and unwrapped, safe (non-choking hazard toys for infants and toddlers), and age-appropriate for both boys and girls. The ages of gift recipients range from newborn up to 14-years of age. Toy gun replicas and gift cards will not be accepted.
