HOW IT WORKS - Saturday 11/8

Please take off in a respectful manner and be aware of your surroundings. THIS IS A SINGLE LOOP COURSE THIS YEAR If you cannot finish the loop, we will see you at the venue and you can pull your remaining chips at the cardstops there. 

Follow the Red/White/Blue trail markers and NEON mile markers to the card stops .There will be 4 stops on the course Please do not “dilly-dally” pulling your number out. You may park on the side of the card stops if you wish to visit, relax or use the restroom before continuing the course, don’t be “that guy” who parks in the middle of the road backing up traffic

 

DO NOT GET YOUR CARD PUNCHED MORE THAN 4 TIMES ON THE COURSE!

ONCE YOU HAVE HIT ALL 4 STOPS, RETURN TO THE VENUE 

CARDSTOPS CLOSE DOWN AT 3:00 - Poker Winner will be announced at 4:45p on the dot!

 

The 5th/6th card stop is in the venue • If you were unable to finish the loop... you may draw your chip(s) at the 5th or 6th card stop

While you are out on the course, the numbers 1-52 will each be randomly assigned a playing card (#1 could the 3 of Clubs, #2 could be queen of hearts, etc.) The stage will have a board with the playing card key on it. Use a pen to write down your cards in the blank space provided on your poker card and see Kelly or a crew member helping at the stage to see if you are one of the top poker hands!

The sole purpose of our non-profit organization is to raise money each year for the Nevada Veteran's Coalition and other veteran's programs. We provide an opportunity for our community to celebrate their loved veterans, past and present, while also getting to experience our beautiful Nevada backyard. 

RAISING MONEY FOR OUR VETERANS SINCE 2015

Veteran
Honor Wall

We owe a debt of gratitude to all of our Veterans who have served and sacrificed for our country. We are blessed to have so many brave men and women - from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines - who have selflessly served in the military. Even if they are no longer actively serving, we are still thankful for all they have done.

 

We are blessed to live in a country where these brave men and women have fought so that we can live in peace and freedom. 

We will be showing this Veteran Honor Wall at our event on a TV. Come take a look, sit back and see the men and woman that are the reason we do what we do. Without them, none of this would be possible.
