I have been attending the “Cops For Tots” events since I was youth, and I must say the last couple of years have been the best ever. The 2010 LAPD Cops For Tots event was held this past Sunday at the Los Angeles Police Academy. The 2010 Car Show was second to none.
With what appeared to be at least 500 cars jamming the lower parking lots at the academy, the line was busy early. As a vendor we were asked to be there by 5AM, and there was already a steady line of cars for the show. The registration tent was busy early, and by 8AM it was a packed house. This year’s rendition included some awesome kid’s entertainment free of charge. Kids, and adults alike, were all invited to get their faces painted, carve a Halloween pumpkin, and create their own art.
All of which were completely FREE.
The officers running the show are well organized, everything is conveniently mapped out, and best of all, the event is totally free to attend. Short of buying a cool soda, hot dog, or nachos; there was plenty to keep the family entertained. With so many cool cars, and nostalgic police vehicles to check out, there was no shortage of fun.
Manny, Moe, and Jack from Pep Boys were roaming around, and so were other celebrities that come out to lend their support. The winners were awarded their trophies, and the crowd subsided, but one thing was left clear; The LAPD Cops For Tots event was a resounding success and anyone who missed this years should mark their calendars for next year’s.
As one of the last totally free events in So Cal, Cops For Tots is the whole package for a Sunday of fun with the family.
