Saddle up the horses and put on your poker face! The Annual Spring Horseback Poker Ride is Saturday, May 26th in Virginia City. This year’s poker ride is sponsored by the Virginia City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Montana Heritage Commission.
Registration is at the Bale of Hay Saloon from 8:30am to 10am. Admission fee is $20.00 per rider which includes a meal after the ride. First and last card will be given at the Bale.
