DEFINITION OF SNOWMOBILE POKER RUN
A snowmobile poker run is a time of fun and fellowship involving scenic rides through some of  New Hampshire's most beautiful trails. Snowmobile clubs sponsor poker runs to raise money for charity or club maintenance. Each club's poker runs may vary, but generally riders pay a small amount to participate. (North Country clubs ask about $5).When they register, riders are dealt a five-card hand and given directions. They make five stops, one for each card, and may purchase as many hands as they would like. Great food, door prizes and drawings accompany the event and provide a day of entertainment for the whole family
