With an estimated turnout of 3,000 people and 1,591 motorcycles, Thom Staser called Saturday's 20th running of the Nevada County Toy Run the best ever.
“I don't think I've had as positive of a Toy Run as this one,” said Staser, who coordinates the annual event.
The long parade of motorcyclists left the Eric Rood government center in Nevada City at noon Saturday, winding their way down Broad Street, over to Main and Mill streets in Grass Valley and into the fairgrounds on McCourtney Road, where more than 3,600 toys and food items were donated for needy children and families.
“All the kids got at least one toy and everybody got fed,” Staser said. “The weather was great and there wasn't anybody having a bad time.”
An estimated 25,000 children have been served during the Toy Run's 20 years, according to Staser.
