The 29th Annual UMV Toy Run – Saturday, August 8, 2015
Mark your calendars, the 29th Annual Toy Run is coming up. We’ll start staging around 9:00 at the Blue Cross parking lot in Berlin, VT [map] – like always, on the second Saturday of August – like always and riding to the State House in Montpelier – like always.
The Toy Run is one of the biggest motorcycle events in Vermont every year. It’s a great way to collect donations for the kids at Shriners Hospitals for Children and a great way to raise motorcycle awareness while enjoying a ride with hundreds of other riders.

It’s Going To Be A Busy Day…
It’s going to be a great day in Montpelier, along with the 29th Annual Toy Run, farmers’ market and sidewalk sale, this year there will be a Vintage Trailer show downtown.
Montpelier Police Chief Tony Facos has told us that the trailers may be parked on State Street between Main and Elm but they will not interfere with the parade route or motorcycle parking. We hope to see you on the 8th to support this charitable event for Shriners Hospitals for Children.
