On a sunny, but chilly Sunday morning last weekend, hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts rode together from Flat Top Park in West Richland, through Kennewick’s Columbia Park and gathered together in the parking lot of Full Throttle Motorcycle in Central Kennewick. (Take a look at the video below).

Desert Thunder Mototorcycle Club sponsored the run again this year and each biker had purchased a new toy to bring with them along on the ride, and at the end loaded up their toys into the back of three pickups. The toys are being donated to a local organization that will distribute them to local area unprivledged children.

Washington Operation Thank You is a non-profit group that send care packages to troops every 6 weeks they received monetary donations from the bikers to aid in their mission to send Christmas care packages to our local troops serving overseas.
