POKER RUN INSTRUCTIONS:
You can play one hand per geocaching name.
There will be 5 nearby caches where sealed envelopes of poker cards will be hidden. At the start, you will be given simple puzzles to solve to obtain the five cache coordinates and a time limit. After you collect a sealed envelope from all five caches, you'll return to the event coordinates with your sealed envelopes and the event hosts will give you one additional card. Envelopes can only be opened in the presence of the event hosts. You must make the best POKER HAND utilizing 5 of the 6 from the cards you've collected. Prizes will be awarded!

IMPORTANT: If you plan to participate in the poker run, you must R.S.V.P. by 3:00pm, Saturday, June 26th.

We need an accurate count to ensure we have enough cards on hand.
(You can attend the event and not participate in the poker run.)

PRIZES:
Prizes will be distributed in order of the highest poker hand to the lowest. It is our intent that everyone who plays will get a prize. The highest hand will have the first choice of prizes available followed by the next highest hand and so on to the last participant. If there is a tie, the people tied will “draw” for the highest card from the card deck.
Special prizes will also be given out by the hosts.

9:00 - 9:30
Check in, drop off donations and TBs, receive your game puzzle coordinates and rules.

9:30 - 11:00
