The Associated Press is reporting:
A village in northwest Ohio plans to change its name for a day in honor of TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider, who's visiting town to host a March of Dimes Bikers for Babies ride.
Snider, known for 1980s heavy metal songs such as 'We're Not Gonna Take It' and 'I Wanna Rock', also hosts the nationally syndicated radio show, House of Hair.
The ride of about 7 miles from Lima to Cridersville is Aug. 21. Cridersville plans to change its name to Sniderville during the event, which raises funds to help fight premature birth.
Snider is the 2010 Bikers for Babies national spokesman.
He had jokingly suggested that Cridersville change its name when a listener from the town requested a song on his radio show. He says the honor is "one of the coolest things that's ever happened" to him.
