WEST JORDAN, Utah — After more than two decades, the man who may be Utah’s most beloved toymaker is stepping away.
Over the years, Thacker has recruited a small army of volunteers of all ages to help cut the wood, assemble the wheels, and paint the signature faces on the toys.Now, Charles operates a saw and assembles the wheel structure on the cars. “When you give a little person a toy and their eyes get big and the want is there, all of the sudden everybody wants to make toys because they can give them away,” he said.“It’s time. It’s time,” he said.
The foundation will continue to make toys and they will roll into the hands of children with their signature message.
