SARATOGA SPRINGS — Over 100 vehicles from area businesses, civic organizations and Emergency Services agencies are expected to travel from Ballston Spa Middle School/High School Campus to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (Route 50) starting at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday Nov. 7, as part of a convoy to help generate new, unwrapped toys for immediate distribution by Capital Region Toys for Tots this holiday season. 

Prior to the departure of the Convoy, a drive through toy drop off will be held on the campus of the Ballston Spa Middle School/High School (220 Ballston Ave., Ballston Spa) for members of the public who would like to donate from 9 a.m. 10:30. 

People are encouraged to view the Convoy along Route 50. For the 3rd year, World War II veteran Sir Ken Bailey will serve as the Grand Marshal. 

Convoy for Tots is held annually to support the mission of Capital Region Toys for Tots who serves over 160,000 children annually in the Capital Region. The seven previous convoys have yielded over 100,000 toys donated for distribution in the Capital Region.
