It's been said "I don't know how to play poker". It doesn't matter because they'll be plenty of EXPERTS on hand to decipher your hand once you arrive at the final destination, Havana CC. Each card you pick will be marked on a sheet by event personnel located at 5 predetermined locations. You'll receive the sheet at our starting point behind Sonny's BBQ and the Golf Shop in LSL.

Afterwards there's several planning to eat dinner at Havana CC. It will be a fun time for all.

A beautiful spirit--Amy Fross-lost her long and courageous battle against breast cancer this morning. My sympathy and my heart go out to her family and friends. Her husband and his brother sponsored the "Symphony Under The Stars" at the Polo Field last year--with all proceeds going to the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Charity. I have participated in the Relay for Life Event at the High School for the past two years-----as a survivor and as a supporter for all who have been affected by this terrible disease. I will be there again this year and I will think about her as I take my survivor walk and also with a luminere in her honor. Please participate in this Poker Run and the Relay for Life in memory of and for those who are still battling cancer.

There are many people who don't know what a "Poker Run" is and how it works. They might be more inclined to participate if they knew more about how it works, how much fun it is and how easy it is.

Please explain the basics of a poker run for the indoctrinated.

When you think of a poker run, you typically think of leather jacketed, Harley riding bikers riding from one spot to another collecting poker cards to win money for charity.

While the general idea is the same, those partaking in the "ALL AROUND THE VILLAGES" Poker run will be a different sort.

This poker run will take place using golf carts on March 20, 2010, and the emphasis is on fun. Beginning at 3 p.m., the participants will meet behind the golf shop and Sonny's BBQ at Lake Sumter Landing. Just look for the pink balloons.

Poker run will drive along the community to different Rec centers to pick up cards in an attempt to build a winning poker hand.

The event will end at 5PM at Havana Country Club.

Pay outs are as follows: 1st place $150, 2nd place $100, 3rd $75. There will be numerous door prizes along with Havana Country Club providing four gift certificates at $25 ea. There will only be 100 tickets available and must be purchased in advance of the event.

Rain or shine it's gonna happen.

Come join us for the fun.

Steve has tickets and private message me here as I also have tickets available.

WHAT IS A POKER RUN? Basically, a poker run is an event patterned after the card game of poker and is generally held by motorcyclists, however, any vehicle-based organization can hold a poker run. Instead of sitting down at a table and having the cards dealt by a dealer, the participants travel to five different locations or stops to draw their cards. Poker run organizers usually develop a unique or scenic route to each of the stops and the run normally takes 2 hours to complete. At each stop, participants draw a single card and then travel to the next location, eventually building their complete poker "hand." HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Participants initially register at a specific location where they purchase one or more blank tally sheets used to record the cards they'll draw at each stop. The participants then take their tally sheet(s) to the first card stop where a volunteer has a container filled with a single deck of loose playing cards. Participants stir the cards and draw one card for each tally sheet they purchased. The volunteers observe the card(s) drawn by the participants; annotate the tally sheet(s) with the appropriate card information, and the participants proceeds to the next card stop with their tally sheet. After drawing their fifth card at the final stop, the participants give their tally sheets to other volunteers who will score the sheets and determine the winning hands. Prizes are normally given to the top three hands and also to the worst hand drawn by participants in the poker run. And now you know what we mean by a "Poker Run!"
