The Poker Run will be held regardless of the weather - it will not be cancelled! 

This year, the Sumpter Snowmobile Club will be adding a little extra fun….

This year, there will be 6 poker run stations in town, and two stations out on the trail.  However, you can only draw 7 cards, which means  you will need to choose which poker run stations you would like to visit.  This year’s poker run stations are:

The Stage Stop Gas Station, The Gold Post, The Depot Inn, The Elkhorn, The Sumpter Museum, Homestead Realty, Inc.  and two stations on the trail.

Once you have drawn 7 cards, you will need to turn your ticket in by 2:30 pm at the Sumpter Community Schoolhouse. Those with the best poker hands win the money……

The total purse for the Poker Run is $3,000.00 guaranteed!

You are not required to go out on the trail in order to participate in the poker run. In fact, you are not required to even ride or own a snowmobile in order to join the fun!

There will also be a Winter Bazaar and Rummage Sale at the Sumpter Municipal Museum from 9 am – 4 pm. Vendors are by donation only…..some table space is still available if you hurry! To reserves space call 541-894-2355.

Friends of Sumpter Valley Community will be holding a baked goods sale on Friday, February 15th from 6-8 pm during advance poker run ticket sales at the Sumpter Community Schoolhouse – 475 N. Mill St. (just above the Stage Stop Gas Station)

On Saturday, the FSVC will also be selling breakfast burritos from 7-10 am at the Sumpter Community Schoolhouse.

Come up to Sumpter and join the fun!
