Hickory Museum of Art & Twisted Covenant MSC are hosting a Poker Run as part of the opening celebration for the new exhibitions at HMA. All motorcycles and cars are welcome. Proceeds benefit the Children's Advocacy & Protection Center of Catawba County.
A poker run is an event in which participants visit five checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand (or worst) at the end of the run. Having the best hand and winning is purely a matter of chance.
Our Checkpoints:
· Bodhi Joi Studio (Ping’s Studio in Hickory, NC)
· History Museum of Catawba County (Newton, NC)
· Pop’s Old Company Store and Tavern (Catawba, NC)
· Children's Advocacy & Protection Center of Catawba County (Conover, NC)
· Hickory Museum of Art – registration and final stop
Back at the Museum: enjoy music by 20/20 Rock Band, food and adult beverage trucks, 50/50 raffle, and exhibitions! Prizes will be awarded for best and worst Poker hands. Meet featured artists Ben Venom & Ping.
