Kerrie Bantoft (Kerri B’s Motor-Bikery), Kylie Birch (Salvation Army), Steve Miatt (Sunshine Mitre 10), Ema Nunn (NAB Murgon) and Lynnsay Fryer got together this week to kick off the annual South Burnett Toy Run, which will run from November 14 to December 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 14, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

People who would like to help disadvantaged local children enjoy a happier Christmas have until Thursday, December 6, to donate a soft toy to this year\u2019s South Burnett Toy Run.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, December 8, motorcyclists from all over the region will be converging on Kingaroy to deliver toys to the Salvation Army that have been left for collection in the Toy Run\u2019s \u201cBaskets Of Hope\u201d.<\/p>\n

The toys will then be distributed by the Salvos to families in need in the days leading up to Christmas, ensuring that children can find something special waiting under the tree for them on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

The Toy Run was started several years ago by the Ulysses Motorcycle Club but is now under the stewardship of Wooroolin bike tour guide Lynnsay Fryer, who operates from Kerri B\u2019s Motor-Bikery.<\/p>\n

Lynnsay said Christmas Toy Runs were a motorcycling tradition, helping spread the joy of Christmas to children who were having a tough time of things though no fault of their own.<\/p>\n

Lynnsay and his team of helpers have already organised 16 \u201cBaskets Of Hope\u201d soft toy drop-off points – six more than last year – from Kilkivan to Blackbutt and west to Cooyar, Maidenwell, Kumbia and Proston.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the north they’re located at the Kilkivan Store, the Goomeri Bakery, Murgon Moto & More and Murgon’s National Australia Bank.<\/p>\n

In the centre of the region, drop-off points can be found at Proston Rural Supplies, CROW-FM in Wondai, the Wooroolin Cafe, Kumbia Service Station, Kingaroy’s National Australia Bank, Sunshine Mitre 10 Kingaroy and the Glendon Street Cafe in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Further south, they’re at Bake Your Day in Nanango, the Yarraman Bakery, Yarraman Real Estate in Blackbutt, the Maidenwell Hotel and McCoy’s Cafe at Cooyar (formerly Cooyar Food & Fuel).<\/p>\n

On December 7, motorcyclists from all over the South Burnett and beyond will be picking up the toys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following day (December 8) they intend to meet up at Sunshine Mitre 10 for a sausage sizzle breakfast between 9:30am and 11:00am, then ride to Kingaroy Showgrounds to deliver this year’s collection to the Salvos at noon before concluding with a lunch at the Commercial Hotel.<\/p>\n

In between the sausage sizzle and the Showgrounds, they’ll ride in a parade around town so spectators can enjoy the fun, too.<\/p>\n

Last year’s South Burnett Toy Run produced a small mountain of soft toys for the Salvos, and this year Lynnsay said he’d like to see if it can break its previous record.<\/p>\n

Motorcyclists taking part in the Toy Run will also be in the running for a \u201cBest Decorated Bike\u201d prize, so the procession promises to be something to see for spectators, too.<\/p>\n

If you would like to help but can\u2019t make it to one of the Toy Run\u2019s collection points, Lynnsay can be contacted on 0428-960-480.<\/p>\n

Robert and Linda Hughes helped pick up two full wheelbarrow loads of soft toys and other gifts at Sunshine Mitre 10 during last year’s Toy Run, and they hope to pick up three wheelbarrow loads this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
