Members of the Panhandlers Motorcycle Club and Capital City Fire/Rescue held their annual Toy Run Sunday. About 40 Juneau riders started at McGivney’s in the valley and rode through the wind and rain. They first stopped at the Triangle in downtown and then went on to the Douglas Fire Station. Riders collected bags of toys and stuffed animals from the Triangle and Louie’s in Douglas.
