Are you familiar with the SCA - Society for Creative Anachronism? We are a bunch of medieval reenactors. Every Nov/Dec the various Kingdoms and Baronies hold Toys for Tots tournaments. If you want to participate in the tournament as either a fighter or an artisan you must pay the admission fee of a toy. You sign up at the table for whichever competition you are competing in, show them your toy and then go put it in the box. People who aren't competing are free to donate toys as well. It's pretty neat.
