HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Bretz Injury Law is presenting the 4th Annual Reno County Veterans’ Memorial Poker Run happening in Hutchinson, KS on Saturday, September 9th.

"If you want to participate in the poker run, you will want to show up at Salty Cycles at 129 East Sherman at about 9:30 a.m.," said Casey Ensz with Bretz Injury Law. "The registration will start at 9:30 a.m., kickstands up about 10:30 a.m. Then, you'd ride the poker run route until you get back to Bretz Injury Law. We'll have some food there ready to go. We'll have some door prizes. We'll have some raffle prizes. Obviously, we'll give out the prizes for the poker run itself."

Poker run stops include Sterling City Park, Shane Love Insurance Agency in Arlington, Shep Chevrolet in Haven, the Reno County Veterans’ Memorial in South Hutchinson, and Bretz Injury Law in Hutchinson. The entry fee is $25/hand and $10 for each additional hand with donations also being accepted. All vehicles are welcome to participate.

"We've been really fortunate to be the beneficiaries of the poker run from Bretz Injury Law," said Kelly Danyluk with the Reno County Veterans’ Memorial. "Not only that, but they've helped us clear back in the beginning. I think they sponsored a guitar at one of our benefits that we held at the Cosmosphere. That was clear back in 2013 or 2014. They've just been supporters of ours for a long time."

Prizes will be awarded to the winning hand, the second best hand, and the worst hand. The winning hand will recieve 25%, the second best hand will receive 15%, and the worst hand will receive 10%. The remaining 50% will be donated to the Reno County Veterans’ Memorial. Door prizes and a meal will be provided following the run. Raffles will be held at the last stop, Bretz Injury Law, with proceeds benefitting the Veterans’ Memorial.

"Pick up a card at each stop and then at the end there's a skill game," Ensz said. "The skill game that we have is you throw a dart at a board that has all the cards on it, to try to get the card that you need to make the best hand."
