Tahoe Mutt Strut Poker Run

Looking for something to do in South Lake Tahoe in October with your dog? The Animal Coalition of Tahoe has planned a fun, family event where you can get a little exercise with your pooch, play poker, and maybe win some prizes! Their Sixth Annual Mutt Strut Poker Run will begin at the Super 8 Motel at 3600 Lake Tahoe Boulevard on Sunday October 12 between 11:00 and 11:30 am. Participants will pick playing cards at stops along a 1.2 mile route, hoping for the best poker hands. No experience is necessary! The fun continues after the walk, with a party at Timber Cove Marina featuring music, giveaways, raffle drawings, and contests such as best trick, best smooch, and musical sit. Poker hands may be purchased for $10 each, or three hands for $25. One free raffle ticket with each poker hand purchased. ACT was established in January 2004 as a nonprofit, all-volunteer corporation with the goal of raising funds to support a low-cost spay-neuter program for local residents. ACT also donates 10% of funds raised to the El Dorado County Animal Shelter.
