Toys for Tots Hits the Bridge! Dec 19, 2024

In a shocking turn of events (well, not really, because it’s Long Grove), a box truck with “Toys for Tots” emblazoned on the side made history… again. This time, it managed to take a tumble onto the historic Robert Parker Coffin Bridge, marking its 62nd trip into the local hall of fame (or infamy, depending on how you look at it).

Long Grove residents, take note: if you’re going to try to break your personal best for most times hit by the same old bridge, at least have a good insurance policy.
