The Pamplin Volunteer Fire and EMS second Annual Poker Run Fundraiser was held at the Pamplin firehouse on August 16th, with the first bike out at 9:00 am and the last bike out at 11:00 am. Bikers paid $10 per hand to participate, but all other events were free for a willing audience. Along with the Bike Show, a Silent Auction and a Rodeo, we figure that all who attended had a great time. After the event, the Southland Band performed. The participants and on-hand crowd also enjoyed food and merchandise.
