DATE OF POKER RIDE: SATURDAY, JULY 8
LOCATION: SPENCEVILLE WILDLIFE AREA – BRUSHY CREEK (attached file has the entry form and a map). HUGE, wide open area to park any size rig.
TIME: Check-in starts at 7:00 a.m. Leave any time for your ride once you check in, but it is recommended that you leave no later than 10:00 a.m. so you can get back and get your poker card envelopes opened up. Ride should be about 1½ to 2 hours long. Leisurely trail ride. Stop at each pillowcase (five of them hanging from trees along the trail) and pull out your poker cards sealed in envelopes. Bring back the sealed envelopes to be opened by SFHA event staff to see how good your poker hand is!
Delicious homemade BBQ lunch starts at approximately 12:00 noon. BBQ shredded beef sandwich or BBQ chicken breast plus beans, salad, dessert, and a cold can of soda or bottled water.
The package deal entry saves you money and includes: ride + one poker hand + T-shirt or tank top + BBQ lunch. Other options are also available (the attached file includes the entry form).
Show your support for our annual poker ride! Arrive to the entry booth at check-in wearing a prior year SFHA Poker Ride T-Shirt, Tank Top, or Sweatshirt (okay, maybe not the sweatshirt – – – it probably will not be cold that day) to get a FREE extra hand of poker.
