Poker run on Sunday

A poker run begins on Sunday, Oct. 11, at 11 a.m. at the Jess Ford Detail Shop in Grand Coulee.

"We all need some order from all this chaos," a website for the event states. "Join us for a day of fun."

The poker run welcomes all types of vehicles to participate in a five-stop 80-mile drive spanning from Coulee Dam to Crown Point to Coulee City to Wilbur and back to Grand Coulee, and includes a barbecue fundraiser at Coulee Plaza (on the corner of Main Street and Spokane Way) at 3 p.m. when the winner, the one with the best poker hand of cards collected at the stops, will be announced.

Vehicles must register in advance with tickets costing $15.

Proceeds are going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and March of Dimes charities.

The event is sponsored by The Divine Appeal, the company local Doctor Sam Hsieh started to encourage people to think outside the box, and an upcoming article will cover.
