Motorcycles, Moonshiners, and Holiday Magic!
The Ronin Riding Club Lexington County Chapter revved up the holiday spirit last weekend with an unforgettable Bike Night and Holiday Toy Drive! Riders from all over South Carolina joined us to celebrate our love for motorcycles and make a difference in the lives of local kids. With the added excitement of a special celebrity appearance by Josh Owens from the hit show Moonshiners and partnerships with the local VFW Post 8738 and Toys for Tots, the night was a true testament to the power of community.

Bikes, Brotherhood, and Big Hearts
The night kicked off with a dazzling lineup of motorcycles as local riders showcased their two-wheeled treasures. From chrome-heavy cruisers to sleek sport bikes, the parking lot was a sea of horsepower and pride. Attendees enjoyed a laid-back atmosphere filled with music, delicious food, and, of course, great company.
Josh Owens brought his signature charm and down-to-earth personality to the event. Fans were thrilled to meet the Moonshiners star, take photos, and hear a few behind-the-scenes stories from the show. Josh’s support for our cause amplified the excitement and drew in a crowd that made the event even more impactful.
Giving Back: Partnering for a Purpose
The heart of the evening was the Holiday Toy Drive, a collaborative effort with the local VFW Post and Toys for Tots. Together, we worked to collect toys and raise funds for children and families in need, ensuring that no one in our community is left out during the holidays.
The VFW Post stepped up in a big way, not only helping organize the event but also showing the camaraderie and spirit that veterans bring to every cause. Their partnership was a reminder of the strong ties between the motorcycle community and those who have served our country.
Thanks to the additional support from Toys for Tots, we were able to expand our reach and ensure every toy and dollar raised went directly to making the holidays brighter for kids in need. Seeing the Marine Corps representatives working alongside our club members to gather donations was a powerful moment of unity.
