POKER RUN 2022

After an absence of 3 years due to Covid, the KRATV Club organized a Poker Run.36. The event was well attended with participants coming from as far away as Alberta & Saskatchewan. The Poker Run was based out of Noke Creek Campground with host Tom Portmann. Many participants were camped at Noke and there was lots of socializing each evening around the campfires. The weather cooperated – even though it looked a little iffy at times.

The event was organized by 3 members of the KRATV Club (Mary Brown(Club President), Valerie Williamson & Esther Johnson) with help from many KRATV Club members. Wayne King and Shellie Hollister, with help from Wayne’s parents (Alton & Wendy King) – cooked a pancake & sausage breakfast the morning of the Poker Run followed up with a hamburger barbeque Saturday night after the event. These were 1st rate meals as Wayne & Shellie have been doing this for a number of years – not their first rodeo-!! Wayne & Shellie along with Alton & Wendy and friends Brent & Sheri-Lyn Campbell, donated all their labor for these meals.

In addition to all the work on the Breakfast & Barbeque, Alton & Wendy King donated a 400 Amp Reactor Power Bank (value $250.00) that was used in a draw as consolation prize for all Poker Hand purchasers. The club didn’t go into the business community to actively look for sponsors for this event – but a few companies stepped up on their own.
