On Dec. 11, two truck beds full of toys for children in need received a thunderous escort of nearly 20 riders on motorcycles and Slingshots from Marathon to Islamorada. Sponsored by the American Legion, the Toys for Tots ride delivered toys collected largely by the veterans association’s Marathon location. “We had collected donations, and then we went down to the Imagination Station in Key West and practically bought out the store,” said Bobby Wellsby. The riders received a blessing from Reverend Debra Maconaughey before departing as a caravan for the Ocean View Inn, where they added their haul to other donations from Key West and Key Largo.
