The 4th Annual ATVBC Poker Ride 2008 will be bigger and definitely different. Start your summer off right with the social event of the 2008 riding season. Following on the great success and participation of the previous three ATVBC poker rides, plans are well underway for the 2008 ride under co-chairs Cal Kaytor and Monika Ferguson.
It will be held June 20 to 22, 2008, with the actual poker ride on June 21. So what’s different? Well, the location will be Princeton, not Logan Lake. This is a great location for the 2008 event and will offer what took place in the previous years but also some new items. It will be held on the PXA grounds in Princeton. There will be camping available on the grounds, a fire pit for everyone, washrooms and showers, shuttle into town and a concession. At this location, it is now possible to offer a mud pit for those who need their mud fix. Also, there is a motorcross track available on the site which the kids can use to burn off all that energy. The poker ride will follow the normal format in that there will be several rides of different lengths and difficulty from which to choose, poker hands to be purchased and, of course, there will be lots of prizes with the major prize to be announced shortly. There will also be souvenir T-shirts for sale. Retailers are being invited to set up displays and offer demo rides.
Last year saw about 400 riders arrive from all over the province as well as Alberta and Washington state. Organizers are anticipating 600 to 800 participants this year. |
