The third annual Hogs for Dogs and Cats Too Poker Run will be Saturday, September 24 sponsored by the Friends of the DeKalb Animal Shelter.
The day’s events will start at the DeKalb Animal Shelter at 186 Transfer Station Road, Smithville. The ride begins at 9 a.m. with an Open House of the Shelter and Registration.
“We will serve breakfast sandwiches and coffee while you take a tour of the shelter and see the adoptable animals. This will bring more people out to the shelter to see how we operate. If you have never been to the shelter this will be a great opportunity to come by,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett.
“The cost is $20 per registered rider which includes a $5.00 food discount coupon for lunch at Twisted Oaks. Kick Stands up at 10 a.m. The ride ends at around 12 noon at Twisted Oaks and a silent auction will be held there from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. and we will have T-shirt sales,” said Friends of spokesperson Cathy Bader
The event is open to all!
