Blatant Promotion of an Event

Yep, that Tuesday night Cruise In called about 5:30 today and off like a new brides panties we went. Damn near froze our proverbial asses off, but we did see and talk to several people before we left for warmer accommodations.

The one couple we always enjoy talking to are Stan & Cheryl Page. They were up here in our end of the world handing out some stuff on the TOY RUN scheduled later in the year. So mainly because Cheryl reads this as much as that other blog, I decided to promote the TOY RUN.

So pay attention for a minute and grab your pencil and paper and write this shit down.

Now for some history, the Toy Run was started years ago by bikers, you know big, hairy, leather wearing, mean looking, types that ride really loud, oil leaking, Harley Davidson or some other type of 2 wheel conveyance that scared the crap out way to many future Mother-in-Laws. Over the years this has become a major source of toys for the USMC's Toys for Tots and the yearly roar of its engines in Bugusta is now legendary.

Enter Big Mike and a few friends who came up with an idea for doing the same thing with cars and trucks. They put this together and got about every club in the state involved and in the first year pulled in 149 vehicles and enough toys to fill 2 vans and then some. At this first Toy Run, also held in Bugusta, Cheryl Page showed up with a Pick-up Truck filled with toys. I think that means she liked the idea.

Well to shorten this up, the TOY RUN is now in the more than capable hands of the Pages and is not being held in Bugusta as the details above show. the location in Porkland is a great place because I have been to the Portland Motor Club to see if it is good enough and believe me it is. In the true all Clubs Format the Pages have enlisted Down East Street Rods to do the cooking so they too, can benefit by making money for there charity. Some of the other details are still being worked on, but have no fear the Pages get stuff done.

So on September 7th, where are you going to hang out? Home, or with us at the Portland Motor Club
