The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society works tirelessly year-round to provide shelter, medical care, food, and compassion to thousands of animals in need. From abandoned pets and strays to animals rescued from difficult situations, the organization serves as a safe haven until those furry friends can be adopted into caring families.

Event Details You Don't Want to Miss

Now, the community has a chance to support that mission while enjoying a little adventure on the open road.

The “Cruisin’ for Critters” Poker Run begins at J&L Harley-Davidson, where check-in takes place from 10 AM to Noon. Then it’s “kickstands up” at Noon as riders hit the road for a day of cruising, card collecting, and camaraderie.

Registration is $25 for drivers and $10 for riders, and every participant must register to join the fun. Each registration includes access to the full event, all route stops, and a poker hand for a shot at some great prizes.

And there are plenty of chances to win.

Prizes will be awarded for the best hand, second-best hand, third-best hand, and even the worst hand, proving that luck can work in mysterious ways.

Celebrate and Win: After Ride Activities

The excitement continues after the ride with card draws from 4:30 to 5:30 PM and prize presentations from 5:30 to 6 PM. Participants can also try their luck in the 50/50 raffle and browse an awesome silent auction packed with all kinds of items.
