Toys for Tots ride kicks off season
McHENRY – More than two dozen motorcycles purred in tune before taking off along a bike run course to Antioch and back Sunday morning.
The bikers, including one dressed in Santa Claus gear, all were riding for one cause – the season kickoff to benefit Toys for Tots.
