A Winning Hand: The Mark Heinzelman Poker Run
/
Among the many activities folks are looking forward to this holiday weekend is The Annual Mark Heinzelman Poker Run and Valentine's Day Party, hosted by the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club this Saturday (February14).
“Mark was a huge presence around here,” recalled The Club's Tracy Hanchett recently.
“He lit up a room. You may not have known him before he entered, but you would know all about him at the end of the night. He was a big guy, literally, with a lot of friends.” Sticks and Stones is an official stop on the tour, and are pleased to lend their support.
“It’s a terrific event for the community, and we are happy to be part of this event,” co-owner Steve Holmes told Schroon Laker.
Registration is open on Friday, February 13 at Sticks and Stones from 12pm – 8pm or at the Club on Hoffman Rd. The Poker Run starts between 9 am and 11 am Saturday. A map of the stops will be provided. The cost is a bargain $10 per person and includes a dinner buffet and music by the Willie Playmore Band. The fun continues with raffles -- including a bonza gift basket from the Paradox Brewery -- and a HUGE bonfire at dusk. For more details call (518) 532-7953.
