The poker run starts at 10am from each festival site and ends at 5pm at the Concorde Festival Site. Since there are only four festival sites (and a poker hand needs five cards in total), you can draw two cards at any of the festival sites to make up your 5-card poker hand. Please turn in all poker run sheets at the Concorde Festival site by 5pm including good hands and second chance entries, as they will announce the winners at 5pm. The winners will be notified by phone if not present at the time of the drawing.
