The Paws and Claws motorcycle Poker Run will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20. In a poker run, bikers travel to different places and draw a playing card at each stop, with the goal of having the best poker hand when it’s all over. The event will also feature a 50/50 raffle, an auction and door prizes. The cost is $10 to enter, with additional cards costing $5.

The poker run will make stops in Bainbridge, Lake Seminole, Chattahoochee, Fla., and Donalsonville, Ga. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. The poker run will begin at the Dairy Queen in Bainbridge at 10 a.m. and wrap up at the Boat Basin in Bainbridge at 2:30 p.m.
