Middletown, Ohio – Bitter cold and a stiff wind didn’t stop folks from descending on Horsepower Farm, a local southwest Ohio car show hot spot, this past weekend.

…and it didn’t stop Kris Kringle from literally descending either—he jumped out of an airplane to greet throngs of smiling children.

The festivities were part of a charity car show to benefit The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots, a program that collects and distributes toys to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas.

The event also hosted a vendor craft fair and a Jeep decoration contest.

The Summit Racing retail store in McDonough, Georgia hosts an annual Santa Cruise Toys for Tots too. Though the 2024 event has passed already, you can check the Summit Racing events calendar or the Georgia store’s Facebook page for info on next year’s show (when those details are posted).

And of course, amidst the holiday fellowship was a collection of incredible rides—everything from stripped-down off-road buggies to postwar classics.

Heck, we even stumbled across a darn-near spotless vintage Toyota Corolla SR5.
