Poker Run Write-up

September 29th, 2011 :: Posted by Zeke

from the Ipsens, for lack of any other write up(!):

Thank you sooooo much for participating in today’s adventure! We think you all got to see things you never knew existed and traveled to places you wouldn’t necessarily put on your top 10 list (or even on your list at all – but didn’t it all turn out to be so amazing?). What a beautiful day to spend out with friends and Minis! We know we saw you smile!

Thank you Derek & April (and Dan!) for creating and fine tuning the route & stops. Thank you to Rick Davidson for his fine Brew Pub & giving us a break on the room fee. Thank you Keeler Mini for covering our T-shirts. Thank you Heather Ipsen for the T-shirt design. Thank you Kate for handling the accounting. Thank you to our stops – The Chocolate Mill, Gardenworks, Pember Museum, Leather Outlet, & Natural Stone Bridge & Caves.

3rd annual Poker Run

Third annual Poker Run — September 17th!

From the desk of the Ipsens:

“We are very pleased to announce that the 3rd annual MPG Poker Run is on! This event offers lots of cool stops along a northerly course loosely described by the first attachment (see below). While Jamie and I are still ironing out the exact GPS coordinates (ha), the attached should give you the gist of what is along the route. This weekend we visited the Davidson Brothers Restaurant & Brewery in Glens Falls for a taste test and were thoroughly impressed. By moving our evening festivities to Glens Falls, we stand an excellent chance of finishing up our drives by happy hour.

What do we need from you besides enthusiasm and a Mini? We need registration money for dinner ($30 ea), T-shirts ($15 ea), and a poker pot ($10 ea) of course. Raffle door prizes are also in our plan, but depend on our corporate . . . → Read More: 3rd annual Poker Run

2nd annual Poker Run

September 18th, 2010 :: Posted by Zeke

The second annual Poker Run will be September 18, so mark your calendars, get registered, and hold on.

Participants will make five prescribed stops to pick up playing cards as you travel a loop east of Albany full of scenic adventures. Mike R. is laying out a suggested motoring route. Event starts and finishes at the Albany Pump Station (exceptions may be made for those traveling from out of the area, contact mpgminis@hotmail.com for more info).

Once everyone is back at the Pump Station, there will be a buffet dinner and the unveiling of the winning poker hand. Cash prize will be split between the winning poker hand and a well-deserving charity.

Entry fee is $50 and includes dinner, t-shirt, map, and an incredible adventure packet.

Registration is due September 1 and space is limited. For more information or any questions you may have, contact mpgminis@hotmail.com
