Philly Radio: Country WXTU Presents Toy Truck Parade

Entercom’s WXTU 92.5 FM, Philadelphia’s Country Station is inviting listeners to participate in its 18th Annual Toy Truck Parade to collect toys for The United Service Organization (USO) and The Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Participants are encouraged to get in the holiday spirit by decorating their cars, trucks, SUVs and emergency vehicles and filling them with new and unwrapped toys.  The event will include participation from WXTU 92.5 FM on-air personalities, including Frank and Andie from the Morning Show.

Participating vehicles will line up in front of the Walmart Supercenter in Hatfield and judges will walk the lines of cars and trucks to judge the best decorated in four categories: Big Rig, Commercial, Personal and Emergency.  Vehicles will then parade down a four-mile route on Bethlehem Pike beginning at Walmart Supercenter and end at the Montgomery Mall, to deliver the toys to the center court.

Five children from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia will lead the parade of vehicles as this year’s Grand Marshalls. WXTU-FM personalities will hand out special trophies to this year’s Grand Marshalls and to the best decorated trucks.

The fun continues inside once the toys are delivered. A local school will sing Christmas Carols in front of the mountain of toys, there will be a photo booth for fun keepsake photos, and members of the Armed Services and the Boys and Girls Clubs will be on hand to help build the mountain of toys.
