Where I Live

There really is no better time of year to live close to the Smoky Mountains. There is a crispness to the air and the warmth of the afternoon sun. The leaves give their showiest possible display as they turn crimson, gold, orange, and numerous other colors. If you are looking for something to do tomorrow and you enjoy a leisurely ride on you motorcycle, I would highly recommend the WIMZ and Shiloh Riders Association, Inc East Tennessee Toy Run.

Tomorrow’s event is the 17th annual toy run. The efforts of these riders represents epitome of the motto of the Shiloh Riders Association, “Changing Lives One Need At A Time.” The event starts at 9:00 AM in the Smokies Stadium in Sevierville. Click HERE for driving directions. Those wanting to participate are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy with a value of at least $10.00 or make an equivalent cash donation. Riders will be able to enjoy food and music at the stadium until the ride kicks off at 1:00 PM. The ride will end at the Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson  in Maryville, Tennessee.

All the toys collected, and those that will be bought with the donations, will be distrubted to children in Sevier County who might otherwise not receive anything for Christmas. The East Tennessee Toy Run does not forget about the undrpriviledged teens and adults during the holidays either. Through year long efforts by the Shiloh Riders Association, Inc. charitable organizations including Teen Christmas, the Smoky Mountain Rescue Ministry , the Sevier County Food Bank , Second Harvest , and Safe Space also benefit.

So if you like to ride and are looking for something that is both fun and civic minded, why not participate in this great event. You can get more info by clicking HERE .
