Info on White Elephant/ Toys for Tots

teakrulos

Two of our oldest Krampusnacht traditions are the white elephant gift exchange and our Toys for Tots drive. Both of these can be found in the Best Place Great Hall.

Toys for Tots: we are proud to say that since 2018 we’ve been able to collect hundreds of donations for the Marine Toys for Tots Program. The program’s primary goal is “through the gift of a new toy, help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s economically disadvantaged children.” Bring new, unwrapped toys to donate– we will have donation boxes set up somewhere in the entrance to the Great Hall (this is also where our indoor music stage is).

Capt. Pabst’s White Elephant Gift Exchange: in the corner of the Great Hall, you’ll see what used to be the office of Captain Frederic Pabst, founder of the Pabst Brewing Company. Bring a wrapped gift, we recommend somewhere in the $5-$10 range. Unusual is great, of course. Bring it into the office between 3-7pm and you’ll be handed a ticket proving you brought something. Stop by between 7-8 to claim your gift. Have fun and keep an eye out for the Ghost of Capt. Pabst, who is said to be still hanging around.

Look for the white elephant sign in the window/ by door of Capt. Pabst’s Office.
