LEWISBORO HORSEMEN'S 10TH ANNUAL POKER RUN IS SUNDAY

The Lewisboro Horsemen's Association’s 10th annual Poker Run will be on Sunday, June 19, 2016. The popular event is a 5 mile pleasure ride through Ward Pound Ridge Reservation that begins and ends at Lewisboro Town Park in South Salem. Riders play a game of chance by collecting playing cards at five checkpoints throughout the course with teams going out between 10 AM and 12 noon. The top teams with the best poker hands win prizes which are awarded at a barbecue lunch from 12 PM to 2 PM in the park’s pavilion.

The early bird entry fee is $35 per rider and $45 on the day of event (teams of two or three). A wild card can be purchased for an additional $10. For Father’s Day, dads who ride receive a free wildcard. Lunch is included in the registration. Non-rider lunch is available for a suggested contribution of $10 (five dollars for children).

Early registration is available on the group's website, www.lhatrails.org.
