2009 Santa Cruise
The 19th Annual Santa Cruise, a fundraiser for the Stayton Fire Department’s Toys For Joy program, was held on Saturday morning. I did my best to take photos, but it was extremely cold (sub-freezing), so I didn’t get as many as I would have liked. I heard there were well over 200 hundred cars. Not bad.
Today’s post is all about the toys, though. The entrance fee for the car show was a toy donation, and of course plenty of folks brought toys, even if they weren’t entering the show. The top photo shows a small portion of the donated toys, which surrounded the department’s awesome old fire truck. They also held a breakfast, and (provided I read a sign posted at the event correctly) the proceeds from that went to the purchase of presents for older children.
Tomorrow I’ll post a couple of photos of the car show portion, then the next day I’ll post photos from the craft bazaar held at the middle school. In tomorrow’s post I’ll also have a photo gallery of the event. Stay tuned.

(Click here to see my Flickr photoset from the car show!) Yesterday was the 2010 Santiam Summerfest street festival and car show, held in downtown Stayton, and today is the August 1st City Daily Photo theme day (bright colors), so I’m combining the two. Colorful cars abounded at the car show, where there were waaaay More >

(Click here to see my Flickr photoset of the car show!) Last night was one of the twice-monthly Stro’s Wedneday Nite Cruise-In car shows held at the A&W Restaurant on Washington St. I took various photos of various things on various cars, so if you’re feeling variable (no, I don’t know why I wrote that), More >
DP Theme Day: Red

Today is the April 1st City Daily Photo theme day, this time for the color red. I spotted this bright red 1950′s Chevy Bel Air station wagon (so I’ve been told, anyway… I’m not a car person) in a parking lot the other day, and I thought it fit the bill. I took all the More >
Ride Of Last Resort

From the random file comes this photo of a hearse parked outside of Weddle Funeral Home on 3rd Ave. Because it was there. A hearse is an interesting looking vehicle… very distinctive. Practical yet somehow stylish. Still, I’d prefer not to ride in one until much, much later.
Parking Lot Noir

I took this a few nights ago in the parking lot of Santiam Hospital on 10th Ave. It was pretty foggy that night, and gave the scene kind of an old film noir effect.

Mothra

It is my first belief the license plate in yesterday’s post was a warning. When I saw it, I thought it was cute and I took a picture. Little did I know Mothra was waiting for me a few blocks down the same road. It told me I should be afraid. Very afraid. If you More >
Don’t Look Now

I spotted this awesome license plate the other day on 3rd Ave. I don’t know what inspired it, but it may have been another license plate I saw a few minutes later on the same street just a few blocks away. I’ll post that tomorrow. That one would have me saying “uh oh” too.

I stole these (okay, I have permission) off of guest photographer John Brandt’s Flickr photostream. I love this car, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. The photo at right shows more of the car itself. Click on it to see it larger. I posted a photo of the back end of it back in More >
