What is a poker rally? Director of PR Phil Heilman explains.

“It is essentially a motorcycle rally but with poker mixed in. Each stop on the designated route will have a person with a deck of cards. Each rider cuts a card and said card is written on a paper, and at the end, based on a points system (aces low), a winner is determined.â€

Riders have five stops, including the starting point, to draw their five cards.

In conjunction the rally, there will be barbecues for the public for both dinner (11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and supper (starting at 3 p.m.). An ongoing 50/50 will also be happening that day.

There will also be a kidsè pedal bike rally. Children can bring their decorated bicycles and ride around town at no cost and receive a free hotdog.

Registration for the poker rally begins at 12:30 p.m. at the Ed Elder Memorial Building located on the museum grounds along 1st Street East. Cost for riding is $20 with a meal included.

A meal for the public will be available for $10.
