CHUBBUCK - Hundreds of bikes took to the street Saturday morning to benefit the Southeast Idaho Community Action Agency.

To ride in the annual Santa Loves Every Donation Shared, or SLEDS you have to donate two cans of food, or bring a child's toy.

This year people came from as far away as Soda Springs, Idaho Falls, and Logan to support the ride. Terri Calkins, Organizer said, "Any family can go down and get a toy if they need one. We don't want anybody to go without a Christmas gift. That's why its important to us."

If you would like to help out you can take your donations directly to SEICAA.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
