POKER RUN RUNDOWN

IRB Homeowners Association Event Saturday

Saturday, September 20th, is a chance for all of us to put our political differences aside and just enjoy being neighbors. The IRB Homeowners Association’s first IRB Poker Run already has 150 registered! If you're not one them, YOU CAN STILL DO SO between 2 and 3 on Saturday, the day of the event, at Cuso’s--$10 per person.

Initially, I thought it was some sort of poker tournament. That’s not the case at all. There are ten participating bars and restaurants involved. And, if I’m understanding this correctly…you go to a minimum of five of them between 3 and 8 p.m. (You can go to more if you want!) Buy a drink and/or something to munch on and you will be given a playing card. Five bars…five cards…thus your poker hand.

Participating bars & restaurants are:
Cuso’s Cantina
Guppy’s
Red Lion
Coaster’s
P.J.’s Oyster Bar
Marlin Time
Jimmy Guana’s
My Place
The Loading Dock
J.D.’s Restaurant

The goal is to end up in a big tent at Crabby Bill’s Loading Dock by 8 p.m. with the best (or worst!) poker hand to win cash prizes, gift certificates, t-shirts and more. And, if you can’t do “the run,” just show up for the party afterwards. Sounds like a good one!

The Indian Rocks Beach Homeowners Association does incredible things for our community. Every event they sponsor is well planned, well executed and well attended. They have no agenda…they simply want their events to be fun and in some way beneficial to IRB. The Poker Run is not only a chance for us to get together as a community for the purpose of laughing a little, but is also a great way to give a little boost to our local businesses—who deserve our support. Hope to see everyone between 2 and 3 p.m. on Saturday at Cuso's to pick up your registration packet. You can’t play without it!

What a GREAT event! The IRB HOA did a tremendous job organizing this mobile party. I would rank this event up there with the Biggest Beach Party in terms of fun. I look forward to the next event.
