SECOND ANNUAL POKER RIDE A GREAT SUCCESS!



Our Fall Poker Ride was held October 30th at Diamond D Ranch. The Griffin's graciously donated the use of the picnic grounds, where we set up our trail head under the shady oak trees. The picnic area was the perfect spot, because it provided restrooms, plenty of parking, a huge BBQ grill and a large area for the kids to run and play. Fifty five riders participated. The course was along the Three Bridges area of Jennings Forest, and the trail was marked with skeletons, ghosts and ghouls. Thanks to the volunteers who rode the course on Friday and got everything ready for Saturday's festivities.

Local businesses donated some raffle items, which we drew for after lunch. Lisa's chuck wagon provided the hungry crowd with hot dogs, chicken salad, and pulled pork. And yes also the locally famous Tater Salad! The winning poker hand netted $275 to Brenda Saunders. She told us that she would make good use of the money and was very appreciative to be this year's winner!

Again, thanks to the volunteers who spent a long fun day at Diamond D. We look forward to next year's ride, which promises to be bigger and better than this one!
