Warren County Toy Ride will be taking a residential detour thru Westwood for its 19th year.
Denton outlined the problem before members of the McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen and says the solution received approval by Toy Ride organizers.
Prompting the discussion was a written request from ride organizer Wayne Wolford, who requested the city’s assistance.
“On behalf of the entire Toy Ride staff, I would like to take this time to thank you for the continuous help and support for the last 18 years in making our Toy Ride one of the most successful Toy Rides in the state of Tennessee,” said Wolford. “Without your support, it would not have been possible.”
Warren County Toy Ride, scheduled for Dec. 8 at noon, is a Christmas fundraiser for needy children in the community. All toys and money are donated to the Rescue Squad for its annual Toy Drive.
“We’d rather have a new toy than money,” said Wolford. “If they give us money, we’re just going to go buy a toy with it so it eliminates a step for us if they buy the toy already. Anyone is welcome to participate in the ride, regardless of whether they have a motorcycle.”
Board members unanimously approved the event, as well as the route change.
