 When the members decided to host our first Poker Run event , we didn’t know what to expect or if anyone would even show up. The number of participants and the incredible feedback we received blew us away. There was no question we needed to make this an annual event. A Poker Run is an organized motorcycle event where riders travel over a prescribed course and at designated stopping points, select a card. At the end of the run, the person with the best poker hand wins a prize.
On Saturday, July 12th, almost 60 bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts arrived for a beautiful sunny ride through Central Virginia. Participants made their way across to four different checkpoints, collecting cards and chances to win prizes. Along with monetary donations, ZCVFD also collected new toys for our December Toy Lift operation, a new event scheduled for Saturday, December 6th at the Lowe’s parking lot.
“I had asked several of the riders how the run was, and everyone was really pleased at how well the event was put together,” said Bev Morris, ZCVFD Auxiliary President. “We couldn’t have done this event without all the countless volunteers that made it such a great success!”
