Charity ride planned for fire victims

Community organizers have announced a poker ride motorcycle run for later this month to benefit a family impacted by a devastating fire in Winlock last Thursday morning.

Scheduled to take place March 21, the ride will begin at St. Helens Tap House, in Toledo, and will follow a 75-mile loop to Frosty's Tavern, in Napavine, The Club Tavern and Franks Hide Away, in Winlock, Pastime Tavern, in Castle Rock, and back to St. Helens Tap House.

A grand prize will be given away for the winner with the best had and the end of the day, as well as a 50/50 raffle and additional raffle prizes at each stop, for which donations are being actively sought.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. while the ride starts at 11 a.m. The entry fee will be $25 per person, which includes 5 raffle tickets, though additional tickets will be available for purchase. A breakfast buffet will also be available that morning for interested parties. All funds collected will be donated to the family.
