Toys For Tots 2010

     The 2010 edition of Toys For Tots motorcycle run
came off without a hitch on Saturday. This was the first year
that Texoma Harley-Davidson has been the primary
sponsor of the event. We had 358 bikes register for
the event and most of them were two-up (passenger also).
The ride was a 29 mile procession through Pottsboro, 
Denison, and then back to Sherman. Many thanks to 
the police, sheriffs deputies, and DPS units that held
up the auto traffic at major intersections. Upon returning
to the dealership, riders were treated to a vast buffet of
food. My wife was in charge of the food and nobody left
hungry. Riders were offered Chili, Stew, Chicken Wings,
Burritos, Tacos, Pastries, plus plenty of coffee and water.
The Marines filled up a trailer with toys, and we took in
donations of over $2,000. The weather could not have been
better. I took off my leather jacket and rode in a long-sleeve







tee-shirt. Best of all, we did not have a single rider injured in the event. The planning committee is to be commended for the smoothness of the event. Many thanks to our sponsors: Kroger's, Albertson's, Wal-Mart, The Boiler Room, Starbuck's, El Chico's, Panera's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Texas Select, Dr Pepper, T-Bones Restaurant, Cracker Barrel, and the Texas Roadhouse. Thanks again to all the participants and I know your Christmas will be good,...as we helped make it a brighter Christmas for some child that would not have had anything at all..   God Bless !
