[Shades]

Dec. 9—TUPELO — The magic of the Christmas season has arrived throughout the world. Twinkling lights, intricately decorated trees, and shiny new gifts have made their way into our homes as Northeast Mississippians celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

Yet for many children throughout the area, gifts under the Christmas tree will be scarce on Christmas Day. The Tupelo Motorcycle Community aims to help fix that.

The group will sponsor the 31st annual Tupelo Toy Run for children in need this Christmas season. This year's even will begin Saturday, Dec. 11, at 10 a.m. at Ballard Park in Tupelo. KSU — aka "kick stands up" — will be at 11 a.m., initiating the Toy Run's procession through Tupelo.

Participating motorcyclists will ride down Tupelo's Main Street with Santa and his sleigh en route to deliver toys to the children at Grace Memorial Baptist Church in Skyline.
