Local charity ride held Saturday

Nearly one hundred local bikers took part in the toy drive charity ride sponsored by the Northeast Harley Owner’s Group (H.O.G.) and the Timmins Police on the weekend. The riders departed the Howard Johnson Inn and rode all through the city before returning to the Timmins Police building in the downtown. The toys and cash contributed will be used to help out needy youngsters at Christmas. There was even a rumour that the jolly guy in the red suit from the North Pole showed up for the ride.
