Just saw on Orangeboatclub.com that the poker run in Orange, Texas is scheduled for September 26th. Does anyone else have any details? I am going to call and see if there are any details available and I will post if I find any more info out.

[scarabsc]

The Orange TX poker run is Saturday September 26th. The registration starts at 8:30 A.M. at the orange boat club www.orangeboatclub.com and the cost is $25 dollars per person, the first stop starts at 11 a.m., there are only three stops due to the fact that this area is still recovering from Hurricane IKE. The first stop is supposed to have bbq etc. and the second stop will have food and alcohol and the third stop will be back at the Orange boat club where they will have more bbq, music, etc. There is a pone number on their website in which someone will answer any questions that you may have. I am planning on trying to attend I have never been, if anyone else has been maybe they can give more details.
