POKER RUN

Returning again this year is the Grove Cruise Poker Run with some changes - We've added more stops - now eight stops to celebrate Grove Cruise's eighth year! Hop in your car and make it to the 8 stops around Spruce Grove from 5 pm to 8 pm. At each stop you’ll have a fun and challenging task to complete - whoever does it the best overall at each spot wins $250, with second prize $150. Before leaving each stop, grab a poker chip and whoever has the gold poker chip (per location) wins $100. It’s not a race, so concentrate on the tasks or you’ll lose your shot at the prize money! The run starts and finishes in the Home Depot parking lot with prizes awarded at 8:30 pm. You must be there to win! The 2010 Poker Run Stops will be announced at a later date.
