The Weyburn Independent Riders motorcycle club will be hosting a number of charitable events in September.
The annual Salvation Army Santa Claus Toy Parade will take place on Saturday, September 8 and all motorcyclists are invited to join in on the action.
"We ask that anyone who wishes to join us to please bring an unwrapped toy to be given to the Salvation Army," said Laurie R. Norman.
The motorcyclists will meet in the parking lot at the Weyburn Junior High between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m. At 1:00 they will take Fifth Street North and then they'll turn right onto Douglas Road, travelling East to 16 Street. Then they will go South on 16th to Railway Avenue, right onto Second Street and then North to Prairie Avenue. The route continues from Southbound Third Street to Sixth Avenue South. It will then head down to Confederation Drive and over to Fourth Street South, into River Park for presentation of toys and cash to the Salvation Army.
