Thank you to all who participated in the Ricky Brownell Poker Run June 27. Weather was great for all 79 riders, with prizes at the end. The handmade Vietnam Quilt was won by Paul Hesmans of Milbank. We look forward to next years Poker Run honoring Ricky for all his public service. The funds go to the Ricky Brownell Scholarship Fund. Big thank you to the Codington County Shooting Sports for the delicious breakfast they served to help pay their way to the national contest!

See everyone in 2027!
