NOTE: FOUNTAIN TIRE NEW EVENT DATE!!!
POKER RUN THURSDAY
Our version of a Poker Run involves pre-registered individuals or teams travelling to specified locations (in any order) to build a poker hand. You do not need to be a Poker expert to play. The ranking of Poker hands are listed below.
The event starts at Fountain Tire at 234 St. Albert Trail, St. Albert, where the particapants will receive the Poker Run package with instructions to follow. At each location, a member of the team will identify that they are a Poker Run participant. The location representative will verify your name, ask you to select a single card from the deck. They will then record your card selection on your RUN CARD. You will then move on to the next location and repeat this process.
After selecting a card at each of the stops, you will decide on your best hand, record it on the BACK of your RUN CARD along with your name and best phone number and proceed to the drop off location at Servus Place at our Classics & Customs in Campbell Event. Winners will be announced Thursday Night at approximately 7:30pm. All winners will also be listed on the RNA Website at www.rocknaugust.com.
