On Saturday, May 17, 70 motorcyclists and their passengers signed up for the Annual Karen McGovern Motorcycle Poker Run. The event left from the St. Stanislaw Society, or Polish Hall, on Mechanic Street in Hoosick Falls, traveled through three states and returned for festivities at the Hall. Funds raised by the Poker Run are matched by the St. Stanislaw Society.
For years Don Armstrong initiated, organized and participated in the Poker Run. Unfortunately illness prevents him from doing so now. Marie and Ron Hall have taken over the task. This year Don and his family and Bill and Barbara McGovern were on hand for the start of the Run.
It was a beautiful sunny day, though a little chilly at the start, and everyone had a great time for a great cause.
