The Toy Run Parade started at Knoxville H-D Dealership.
A little rain didn't seem to hurt the turn-out.
|
The Claus family was there for the ride and the Knox County
and Anderson County Police provided a motorcycle escort.
|
The parade ride was about 35 miles leaving Knoxville H-D, going through Clinton to Norwood
and then to Oak Ridge where the 13th Annual Toy Run party was held at the Backroad Pub and Grill.
|
The riders arrived at BP&G about 2:30pm where some great food and good friends waited.
|
Ellen collected toys and cash donations "for the kids" while
the ACTR volunteers got the festivities started.
|
Good food, cold beer, door prizes, live music, an auction and a bike show
provided plenty of entertainment.
|
Outside, the bike show was getting underway with some very nice entries
ranging from a "rat bike" to some hot customs.
|
Inside, the party is getting underway with door prize drawings, bike ticket
sales, T-shirt sales and plenty of food, friends and fun!
|
Jan and Amber are working the inventory table while preparations
are being made to auction the "Paul Frost Memorial Quilt".
|
The "Quilt" was purchased by a group of ladies for $1600.00
and presented as a gift to Amber, Paul's daughter.
|
And now, the final "give-away" of the day - a 2004 H-D 883 Sportster Custom
which was won by Evelyn Thompson. Congratulations Evelyn!
|
Amber and friends with the "Quilt"!
|
All that is left now is to party-on in celebration of another great day "for the kids"!
More than $12,000.00 was raised at this event to help Anderson County children at Christmas.
Congratulations ACTR volunteers and supporters for a job well done!
