Ravenna – Ravenna Parks and Recreation will be holding their annual Pot O’ Gold 5K Poker Run. All proceeds from this event go into the city’s Marlene Watt Scholarship which provides funds to area children who would like to participate in camps, programs and sports and need financial assistants.
This family friendly event kicks off on March 16 at 9am at Ravenna City Park on Oakwood St. Participants, some dressed in their best Irish get-up, wind their way through downtown, picking up game cards along the way. We will finish at the Big Dog, where the winner will receive $500! There are also prizes for the best Irish spirit and the most festive costumes!
Last year’s event brought families, business, community members, churches and organizations together to raise over 10K for the fund!!
