Toy Ride to roar into town
web toy ride
Christmas cheer will roll into Warren County on high-powered motorcycles this Saturday as the Toy Ride makes its annual trek through McMinnville.
This Saturday’s annual Warren County Toy Ride may have a never-before-seen twist.If $1,000 is raised the day of the event, organizer Rob Wolford will ride a motorcycle around town wearing a dress.“I guess I shouldn’t have opened my mouth, but I said I’d wear a dress if they raised $1,000 that day,” said Wolford. “Based on the number of people who have called me, it looks like they’re going to raise the money and they’re going to hold me to it.”The Toy Ride generally raises $15,000 to $20,000 each year, but most of that money is gathered before the ride itself. In an effort to increase donations the day of the event, Wolford provided the incentive he would wear a dress.“It’s going to have to be some dress if it’s going to fit a big, fat guy,” said Wolford.Riders will gather this Saturday morning at Plaza Shopping Center before departing at noon.
