24 Terrace Review — Wednesday, October 1, 1986

Toy Run draws a crowd in Terrace.

Terrace -—- Motorcycles
of various descriptions
glided through city
streets on Saturday
equipped with two items
in common, A driver of
the two-wheeled vehicle
and a toy for youngsters
in the area.

Motorcyclists from
around the region
gathered at the weigh
scales at the junction of
Highway 16 and 37 on
the weekend to. par-
ticipate in the fourth an-
nual Toy Run sponsored
by the Roadrunners
Motorcycle Club of Ter-
race.

Participants joined
forces around 2 p.m.,
then proceeded west
along Highway 16 to the
Sande Overpass. The
riders drove across the
overpass, then headed
east on Greig Avenue
and doubled back along
Lakelse to City Hall.
They cruised east down
Lazelle to the final
destination at the Inn of
the West.

Riders gathered in the
foyer ‘of. the hotel and
presented Captain John
Harker from the Salva-
tion Army with toys
which will be distributed
to Terrace and Kitimat
children at Christmas.

James Gilham, organizer
of the Toy Run and
president of the Road-
runners Motorcycle
Club, pointed out that
the toys help kids who
may not have a nice
Christmas otherwise.

The Toy Run is an op-
portune time for both,
motorcyclists and the
Salvation Army, Gilham
noted,

He said that in past

Toy Runs Harley David-
son motorcycles have
been the predominant
brand and this year was
no exception, ‘“We get a
much higher percentage
of Harley riders out for
this type of thing’’, Gil-
ham said, .
Gord Shaben of Blue
Ridge Graphics designed
a souvenir T-shirt which
was available to Toy Run
participants to purchase.
The reason the Toy
Run is conducted at.the
end of September, rather
than a time closer to
Christmas, is to ensure
that reasonable riding
weather still exists for
motorcyclists.

The Toy Run is a
positive event with
beneficial results for
everyone involved,
Gilham said.

Well over 100 motorcyclists turned out to Par-
ticipate in the 1986 Toy Run, said organizer of
the event, James Gilham.
