It’s A Family Affair Valley resident Todd Rippo and his daughter, Frankie, prepare to head out Saturday from Grumpy’s restaurant in Ketchum on the Mike Kelly Memorial Toy Run motorcycle ride. The charity event—named in honor of its longtime organizer—collects toys to be distributed to children in need during the December holiday season. Motorcycle riders carry the toys from Ketchum to the southern Wood River Valley, where the event ends with a gathering in Bellevue. Photo by Roland Lane
