A poker run is an organized activity usually involving motorcycles, bicycles, boats or cars. Participants visit five to seven prearranged stops and collect a playing card from each and the objective is to collect the best poker hand. Prizes might be awarded at the end, bragging rights are certainly in order, and everyone comes back together just to have a good time.
The Jacksonville Optimist Club, Timonium Optimist Club, Cockeyesville Optimist Club and Hereford Optimist Club in Baltimore County, Maryland are combining efforts for the annual Shop with a Cop Poker Run this Saturday, August 28, 10:00 a.m., beginning at the Maryland Line Inn. Cost to participate is $20 for the driver and $5 per passenger with all money raised going to buy gifts for underprivileged children through the Optimist Club Shop with a Cop program at Christmas.
