The annual HSW Toys for Tots event was held on Saturday, Dec 5 in the main hangar. \u00a0Thanks to the generous donations of members and visitors, we once more filled the trailer with toys for area kids.<\/p>\n

Santa arrived right on time in the C-45, explaining to the kids that the HSW \u00a0loaned him the use of the airplane because without snow he couldn’t use his sled. (I sure hope it snows on Christmas, Santa).<\/p>\n
