wagons

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. As a kid, I loved the air of possibility. For one night, you can become anyone or anything. When I stepped out the door in my costume, I felt like anything could happen. Maybe my broomstick would finally fly. Maybe I’d be transported back into the 1950s and my poodle skirt would fit right in. Maybe I’d run into the actual soccer star I dressed up as. Who knew? It was Halloween. Anything was possible.

To sports fans, the start of fall signals something great: tailgating season is back. Get ready to grab your jersey, break out the face paint, fire up the grill, and enjoy all the rah-rah spirit and camaraderie that comes along with tailgating, the ultimate fall activity.

Our February Little Red Stories winner, Laura T., tells us that both she and her husband received a Radio Flyer wagon when they were two years old. She remembers hers being covered in balloons that wiggled in the wind as her Uncle George wheeled it around the yard. She recalls her uncle telling her parents, “Every kid should have a red wagon.”

Unexpected moments can sometimes bring a lot of joy. I experienced this first hand when I was able to present the grand prize winner of our Little Red Stories contest with a check for $10,000 recently in Lawrence, Kansas.

It’s springtime, at least according to the calendar.  As you plan for your garden this year, consider how you can use your Radio Flyer wagon … new or old!

Like many parents, the Little Red Story Winner for February Maggie G. from Gainesville, GA, aspires to recreate the best parts of her childhood for her children.   That’s why she and her husband gave their son Henry, 10 months, an extra special gift this Christmas--his first Radio Flyer wagon.
