Santa Claus will take a ride through downtown Statesboro Saturday, Nov. 21, escorted by a host of motorcycle riders with a mission: to make sure children in need have a merry Christmas. The 13th Annual Santa's Toy Run, hosted by the Southern Thunder Cruisers motorcycle club, is an effort to ensure area children aren't disappointed by an empty stocking due to family financial challenges, said Curtis Gay, president of the group. The Bulloch County Sheriff's Office is also helping with the ride.
