What is the Poker Run?
For those that have never been on a Poker Run before, here are the details.

A poker run is an organized event where participants must visit five checkpoints, earning a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the day to the top hands that have been donated by sponsors including Norm's Tire, AVF/AVF Racing and more.

At each stop, we will get to meet our sponsors, have something to eat/drink and end the evening at Mystic Lake for a dinner buffet and evening of fun at the Casino. A room block will be available for those interested in staying overnight.

Dinner Buffet

$16.95/person + tax/gratuity

An area will be sectioned off for us up to 50 people. We can get more space if needed, just need to give them advanced notice.
