7th annual Poker Walk starts Friday, June 3
The New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce and Ameriprise Financial, with promotional support from the Heart of New Ulm, is inviting New Ulm residents to participate in the seventh annual Poker Walk in June to promote financial and physical wellness.
Here’s how it works:
•Every Friday during the month of June, check out the Chamber’s or Heart of New Ulm’s Facebook page for the week’s designated one-mile route, which will include stops at five participating Chamber businesses. You can also pick up a printed copy at the New Ulm Chamber office at 1 N. Minnesota St.
•Participants need to stop at each business between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and pick up a playing card, assemble their poker hand, and then stop at the Chamber office at 1 N. Minnesota St. to drop off and register their hand by 4:30 p.m. each Friday.
•Each card has one, two or three star-hole punches. Make sure that the card you receive from each business is the same number of stars as your previous one. Poker hands must be submitted with all cards with the same number of star punches.
•Email photos of yourself participating in the walk to chamber@newulm.com, and you will be entered into a drawing for $10 in Chamber dollars. Get creative, as these will be posted to the New Ulm Chamber Facebook page (for group photos, identify the people in the photo in your email).
•The winning hand from each week will be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing to win $250 worth of gift cards to local businesses.
