March 20th Poker Run Breaks Doldrums

The ice fishing season is waning and the time between that and the opener is usually fairly slow around Mille Lacs. To combat boredom, a group of area bars have banded together to offer a fun, free Poker run.

You get a card at each location and show up at BayView at 8 pm for a chance to win the $75 first prize for the best five-card poker hand. There are cash prizes for second through fifth place. The event starts at noon on March 20th. There are eight participating locations: Onamia Vets Club, BayView, Muggs, Wahkon Inn, Isle Bowl, Hunter's Point, Fishermen's Wharf and Liberty Beach.
