….and just like that, this beautiful 2024 Ford F350 was just returned to Sanderson Ford 🥰. This truck was absolutely AMAZING to drive and beautiful!!! It’s still hard for us to believe that Sanderson lets us borrow a truck so we can use it to pull the float and spread cheer 🤗😍.
A little backstory: In 2017, our mom had a wild and crazy idea to ask Sanderson Ford if we could “borrow a truck to pull our float” and if we could help with Operation Santa Claus. We were convinced they wouldn’t even give the ask a second thought. Well, they did and that was the first year we were officially part of Operation Santa Claus. Sanderson loaned us a truck and it changed floating/caroling for us. This has been a game changer for us and it has allowed us to spread cheer as often as we want to. In the past, we used one of our personal vehicles and the truck had to be rushed over, hooked up and unhooked again every time it was taken out. There were numerous nights it couldn’t be taken out because the personal vehicle wasn’t available. Having a Sanderson truck, hooked up and ready to go every day, allowed our mom and our friend Dave the chance to spread cheer EVERY NIGHT since the parade (18 nights 🤗)!! Words simply can’t express how amazing Sanderson is from David Kimmerle to Max to Oscar and every person we’ve interacted with. They “get” what the float means and how much joy and holiday spirit it brings to everyone. We are so thankful for everyone who donated to Operation Santa Claus but we are also thankful to everyone who came out, waved at us, smiled, cheered us on, gave us hugs and shared stories.
Thank you Sanderson Ford for being such a huge part of our holiday tradition 🥰.
