Secret Garden owners Barbara and Bob Ray Hardy hold a Toys for Tots banner aloft outside of the Turnage Theatre prior to the City of Washington’s annual Light Up the City event last week, officially ringing in the holiday season. The Toys for Tots drive will run until Dec. 8; on Dec. 10, toys will be distributed to less-privileged children in need of a merry Christmas. The following list of locations where toys can be dropped off was provided by organizer and Washington (noon) Rotarian Rich Morin. Organizers are seeking unwrapped toys, in their original packaging. The toys should be appropriate from children ranging from infants to 12 years old.
