Santa and supercars

Nothing is better than Santa and supercars.

Cars and Toys, now in its seventh year, will be held at Kelowna's August Motorcars, and includes photos with Santa, holiday treats, and activities for the whole family, all in the auto dealers' showroom surrounded by supercars.

Admission to the event is one unwrapped gift for a child.

This year, the toys will go to deserving kids through the Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon and Kelowna's Mamas for Mamas.

Families will also be able to walk through a supercar winter wonderland.

"We get to see a lot of our co-pilots from the Dream Rally which is nice and a lot of people who are a part of Dream Rally come and take part of this as well. It is a neat time to come and see the kids before Christmas and before Christmas holidays. We have donated tens of thousands of toys since we have been doing this," said August Motorcars owner Matt August said.

Cars and Toys will run on Sunday, Dec. 4th from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 3510, Spectrum Court, Kelowna.

August says the event impacts a number of families locally.

"These are times when your family is travelling from Kelowna and the Okanagan to Vancouver for treatment and we go there to do the Christmas Light Up and it is pretty crazy to see how many families actually send Christmas in the hospital," he said.

"To have time to go Christmas shopping is something you don't even think about. To have this where they don't even have to think about it.... it is very special."
