Despite all the difficulties and hardships that 2020 has brought, you can still find hope and those looking to make the world a better place. The Team Tayden annual poker run ride is still going forward, and it’s happening next week, launching from the Bullet Bar in Sherman. Signup will start at 10:30 and the run will start at 11:45.
Motorcycles, cars, trucks and ATV’s will all be welcomed as usual.
Organizer Danielle Grohs said that they will be taking reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 including hand sanitization, disinfecting and distance spacing as much as possible, and that events and stops along the route will be outdoors wherever and whenever possible.
She said that this year, the local fire departments of Garretson, Jasper and Flandreau are leading the way in support this year, and that Ryan Longhenry of the GFD was the primary designer of the official logo and shirts.
Grohs said that two boys were selected as the beneficiaries of this year’s run; Trey, a 5-month-old infant with acute myeloid leukemia, and Isaac, a three year old boy with neural blastoma. Sadly, just before the Gazette went to press we received word that Isaac had died. Grohs said that they plan to continue the run in support of the family.
Look for the full story in next week’s Gazette.
