Second annual motorcycle ride for kids safety

Child passenger safety week is Sept 21 - 27. The Safe Kids Coalition of Pike County will kick off the week of safety with a motorcycle ‘Poker Run’. Motorcyclists will ride through the Poconos in Pike and Monroe Counties on Sept 20 to enjoy the scenery and raise money for car seats for families in need. The organized ride will start at the Legendary Tannersville Inn, state Route 611, Tannersville, and end at Big Pocono, Camelback Mountain. The event will include a “poker run” with great prizes, free soda, hamburgers and hot dogs for all participants. Anyone wishing to join the event should arrive at the Tannersville Inn by 10 a.m. for registration. Each hand of cards will be $15, with no limit on the number of hands purchased by each rider and the proceeds will benefit the Monroe/Pike Child Passenger Safety Team. Come out and enjoy a great day of riding and meeting new people. For more information, call Gary Foster at 570-839-6282, ext. 313 or Jill Gamboni at Safe Kids, at 570-296-3447.
