Hundreds of people lined up outside of the Bauer Building in Fairmont for Marion County's Second Toy Drive, Tuesday night.

The first toy drive took place on Black Friday but volunteers opened the doors for a second time because there were so many extra toys.

Marion County Commissioner Butch Tennant said the line was out the door for hours Tuesday night.

He said the county raised over $15,000 for the toy drive and helped give more than 1,000 children a Merry Christmas.
