The weather conditions at this month's Jeep Night were less than ideal.

Although it was the coldest day of the year, Jeep Night still went on as planned. Jeep Night was held at Sofie's 'SS' Saloon on Thursday, December 8th.

People came and went as the evening progressed. Burns Motors made sure to provide a hot meal to those who came out to support the cause. Present were members of several Jeep Clubs including Texas Jeep Crawlers, Texas Off-Road Republic, and South Texas Rebels.

Burns Motors staff was also present with David Nunez bringing an abundance of delectable tamales. The night went on as usual with the only set-back being the weather.

Although Jeep Night is held once a month, twelve months out of the year, December's was especially significant. In the spirit of the season, Jeep Night held a Toy Drive. Back in November a Canned Food drive was also held. These proceeds were sent out to a small colonia in Edinburg.

Logos Community Church, along with the Edinburg Police Department, distributed the canned goods right before Thanksgiving. This December was no different. Jeep Night wanted to give back to that same community. With 113 children, ranging in ages from 1 to 19 years, we relied on the attendees and Jeep Clubs to come together and donate as much as possible. An award was given to the Jeep Club with the most bountiful contribution of toys. South Texas Rebels took the award home that night.

Even in the blistering cold we managed to collect quite an abundance of toys. Although some did not attend Jeep Night, quite a few people still made the drive to South McAllen and dropped off their toys.

Those children and their families were invited to Logos Community Church for Christmas Eve Services. While there, the gifts were distributed among the children. Thank you from Jeep Night to all those kindhearted individuals who contributed to our cause. It is much appreciated by all those involved, especially the recipients.
