It was great way to say thanks to those that help us.  It also was a great way to ride and mingle among us without a meeting type format.  We even had a few new faces, including among us some future bikers.  Meagan was initiated with an TFT clothing ensemble for helping us with the door prize raffles announcements at each stop.  Definitely not shy to be among bikers at her young age.  She kind of was born with a mike in her hand, like somebody else we know?  We all had fun.  And even had our own version of Star Search. Discovering the hidden talents of our duet singing cowboys Big Red (Barry) and Cowboy (Ron Iacono) belting out Michael Jackson’s ABC and not getting past C.  At the finality, almost all attendees won a door prize donated by the following: Toys for Toys, Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run, Mama Luigi's Restaurant, Firehouse Tattoo and Mick’s V-Twin. Thanks to all the businesses for their warm welcomes and the food spread provided by Stan & Helen's at our last stop.

So when riding this summer, stop by any of the aforementioned biker friendly businesses that participated in our first TFT Poker Run. Tell them, thank you and get a piece of candy for the next Poker Run (candy collected at each stop was exchangeable for a extra card).  Rumor: this might become an annual TFT Poker run with the business locations being changed every year to show our appreciation to others that support us.  Thanks again to T&B for brainstorming this way to have fun and network the TFT name.
