While you are out holiday shopping and saving big money this weekend during Black Friday, don't forget what the holidays are all about!
Use some of the money you saved to purchase a toy for The 3rd Annual Stocking the Trailer Toy Drive.
Josh & Shawn from Last Choice Country are spending the Thanksgiving weekend living in a Steven's Cycle Sales Toy Hauler in front of Millar's on Euclid Avenue on Bay City's West Side.
The INTERNET radio duo say they will not be leaving until Sunday at Noon, collecting as many toys possible for local, needy and deserving youngsters.
"It's all about the community for us," said Shawn Doyle during the weekend Christmas toy drive. "We just really enjoy giving back to the community," Doyle said. Doyle went on to thank event sponsors 7-11 (Kawkawlin Road), Ash Events, Grand Rental Station, Millar's TV & Appliance, Bellsmith Graphic Design, MyBayCity.com, and Two Men and a Truck for their support.
ALL TOYS WILL BE GOING TO LOCAL FAMILIES!!
The Steven's Cycle Toy Hauler will be at Millar's Appliance on Euclid Ave. starting Black Friday and the group will continue to collect donations until Sunday at Noon.
Toys are scheduled to be distributed to the following non-profit organizations:

In 2013, The Stocking The Trailer Toy Drive contributed almost 90 Percent of the toys needed for The Bay City Lion's club annual Christmas Party! Scott Mackenzie, Secretary of The Organization said the donation saved them a great deal of money. "For the past 10 Years we would spend roughly $10 on a gift per kid, that money can now be used to help even more people in our community."
Josh Sharrow asked local residents to help the community! "It could be your neighbor, your co-worker, a friend of your child who we are supporting," Sharrow said.
