At the booth, Elks volunteers conducted spin-the-wheel and bathroom tissue toss games for the kids who earned prizes. The books, CDs, toy stuffed animals and other small prizes were donated by Bongo Inc of Lake Forest. The games were just as popular with adults who enjoyed tossing the tissue rolls. The eighteen (18) Elks volunteers also handed out American flags and Elks anti-drug literature.
