Sheriff's Posse Poker Run nets over $600 for Museum fund

Perfect late Summer weather- clear skies, moderate temps and few bugs.... this was the setting for the Sheriff's Posse Poker Run Sunday afternoon where Randy Hough was the lucky winner of $100 with his 'full house' after making several stops around the area.

A total of 45 bikes were registered for the ride, drawing folks from all around on the run that started at Plunkett Bowl and ended at new home of the Law Enforcement Museum on Fort Scott street. A total of about $600 was raised during the event which will be put into the museum building fund- which at this time is earmarked to put new roof on the 100+ year old building.

Bates County Live spoke with BCSO Administrative Assistant Jami Page earlier today, who emphasized that the Posse is keeping the fundraising momentum going with a rummage sale this Saturday to be held in the parking lot of the Sheriff's office.  To make a donation, contact Jami at 660-679-3232 or through the Posse Facebook page here.
