poker run & toy drive. This event is a direct beneficiary to the Marine

Drive. At this location, we will be registering for the 50/50 poker run
and collecting toys. Hands in the poker run are $30.00, which comes with
an event T-Shirt, entry into the 50/50 and wings from the hooters girls at
the end. Anyone donating an unwrapped toy will receive a ticket enabling
him or her to some great door prizes at the end of the event. The toys can
be donated at our starting point and our final destination of Orlando
Harley Davidson. Our poker run will go to
Channel Nine WFTV (See Maps) as a second stop and there we will be part of
the Santa Saturday which is a toy drive & winter festival benefiting the
Toys for Tots program. We will have a special route in through the
festival just for us and you could even be on the nightly news.
From there we will be going to Hooters of Casselberry for our third
stop. Once you force yourself to leave here, its off to Shovelheads Lounge
in Casselberry for our fourth stop. Be sure to come by and say, "Hello"
to Kelly, the new owner. From they’re its time to head to Orlando Harley
Davidson by 4:00 PM to enjoy the festivities. Live entertainment will be
provided by Big Engine and we will enjoy some wings from the gang at
Hooters of Casselberry as well as award our cash winner of the 50/50 poker
run. It will also be time to draw for the great our great door prizes.
