Making Spirits Bright for 33 Years Now!

Thanks to all who turned up and supported us and the kids at Shriners Hospitals for Children at last year’s Toy Run. It was another great year. We know there were some issues with the line getting broken up and cars mixing into the parade. We are working with the local police, the V-Twin MC and the Red Knights MC to address the problems with gaps and the sling shot effect in group rides. Join UMV now and help us make the 2019 Toy Run even better.

Special thanks to the members of Red Knights MC and Vermont Chapters of the V-Twins for their help with traffic control and parking.

Orca Media will be taping the Toy Run for the Montpelier Public Access channel.

If you have any info or questions or comments, let us know. Why not join UMV and come to some meetings? Then you can help make this event happen.
