Toy Giveaway For Children's Home, Downey

Troopers from the RL and 501st arrived, kitted up, and participated in a toy giveaway and lunch. Activities involved photo-ops, introducing Santa, playing along with the kids who were at the event and generally having fun. The event started when the kids were invited to try and make a mini stormtrooper turn into a full sized one, by singing “Jingle-Bells” as loud as possible. At the end of the song, rebels, stormtroopers and Vader walked in to the gasps and cheers of the unsuspecting audience. Felix, the event organizer, was superbly organized and supportive. He was hoping we could do this troop again in the future!
