Poker Run

Can you believe it! The Poker Run has reached 22 years bringing the Merrill community unique and fresh Christmas ideas for the coming season. This year 15 Merrill businesses will bring the Poker Run to the community with over $900 in prizes of gift certificates that can be used at any of the participating sponsors. There is a grand prize of $500, a 1st prize of $150, a 2nd prize of $120, a 3rd prize of $90, and a prize offered for the worst poker hand.
How it works:
Go to any of the 15 participating businesses and pick up a game card the day of the Poker Run. Proceed to each business and receive a stamp (no purchase necessary). At 2:00pm or later, turn in your game card to Courtside Furniture only (must have a minimum of 5 stamps from 5 businesses to be in the drawing). Get dealt a hand (based on the amount of stamps you have collected; e.g. 5 stamps equal 5 cards and 15 stamps equal 15 cards). The dealer will help you receive a poker hand with the possibility of getting a Royal Flush. 
Each business has Poker Run Specials displaying Christmas items, in-store specials and tasty treats. St. Francis Xavier School is putting on their Christmas bazaar and fundraiser with baked goods for those with a sweet tooth; candy by the pound.
