Nearly 1,000 Motorcycles took part in the Tri-County Toy Run over the weekend, collecting 36 bicycles and 81 boxes of toys for kids in Central Texas.

This year's ride began in Temple and ended in Copperas Cove with over 20 local charities taking part in handing out all the donated items. The Tri-County Toy run benefits families in Bell, Lampasas, and Coryell counties. This was the 24th year for the toy ride which is usually held the first weekend in December.

A special thanks goes out to the Tri-County Toy Run Committee and to American Legion Post 133 for their time and hard work helping these families in need. You can keep on helping families this Holiday Season by stopping by our website to nominate a family in need for "Christmas On Us". We will will be selecting one Central Texas family to receive a very special Christmas as well as 'runner-up' prizes. The winning family will be selected on December 16th.
