With double the usual number of raffle prizes the West Kootenay Toy Run Association is offering better odds than ever for someone to win a new Harley Davidson.The group which stages a toy run for charity each Christmas season also holds a fundraising raffle for the benefit of a number of worthy causes.
The Fathers Day poker run held Sunday rounded up a bunch of food bank donations."You'll see it around town," said Geoff Tellier, association vice-president of the 2-wheel raffle prizes, one worth about $8,000 the other worth close the $20k.Bubblees, the Chevron, Wolf's Den, Frosties... will take turns having the bikes on their premises.Poker run riders took part from Grand Forks to Salmo... to Nakusp said Tellier.
A little bit of rain early in the day was hardly enough to dampen the spirits of the riders who later unwound at the Lions Head, complete with kiddie's trike races.
