The Lake Shore Hogs chapter will hold its annual stuffed animal ride bringing Christmas gifts to children in care of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services on Sunday, Nov. 2nd. “This ride is the highlight of our year,” says Joey Smith of the Lake Shore Hogs. “I enjoy riding my Harley with a teddy bear. Anything the chapter can do to brighten a child’s day, we will do it.”

The event takes place at the Harley-Davidson store, 17000 Rockland Road in Libertyville and begins at 9:00 a.m. with the loading of the stuffed animals onto a truck. The Hog ride begins at approximately 10:30 a.m. when the motorcycle riders will proceed to Illinois DCFS offices located in Waukegan, 500 N. Green Bay Road.
