Anderson County Toy Run, Inc. P. O.   Box 6926,   Oak Ridge,   Tennessee The ACTR:   A Brief History   1992   -- At the Sundown Tavern one afternoon, a group of riders, desiring to change the image of local bikers, decided to hold a "Toy Run" (i.e. a charitable event favored by bikers) to collect toys and raise money for children of Anderson County who would otherwise have little or nothing at Christmas.   The word was passed and about 25 motorcycles and riders gathered at the Sundown Tavern on a Saturday afternoon in November 1992 to participate in the "Run".   The group, with toys (stuffed animals, Tonka trucks, etc.) bungee corded to their bikes, rode from the Sundown Tavern by way of Clinton Highway, Edgemore Road, Melton Lake Drive, and Warehouse Road to the Warehouse Tavern.   At the Warehouse Tavern, the toys were collected and the group celebrated the event with a party where cash donations and an auction raised funds "for the kids".   The ride and the party were considered by all to be a lot of fun and done for a very good cause.   So, a committee was formed to plan and coordinate the ride as an "annual event" and the Anderson County Toy Run was born!                 19931994 199519961997                 19981999 200020012002                 20032004 200520062007 2008 Do you have a copy of a Toy Run Flyer from 1994 that you would like to share?
