About this event
PCA Chesapeake Poker Rally
PCA-CHS 2025 Tour & Rally Event No. 5 – Sunday, May 18th
PCA Chesapeake’s Tour & Rally Committee is pleased to offer a Poker Rally, on May 18th, Sunday. This rally was designed by our club’s Registrar, Marsha Buss. Our 36-mile scenic drive will start in Linthicum Heights and travel the historic roads of Elkridge, Ellicott City, and Catonsville. The rally will end at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, in Halethorpe, MD, where we will have an awards ceremony and lunch.
If you would prefer to follow a lead driver just let us know when you register. We will put you in a tour group if there is sufficient interest.
The proceeds of this event will benefit the Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS), a 501(c) organization. BARCS is an open-admission shelter, meaning we accept and care for all animals in need regardless of health, history of abuse or neglect, age or temperament.
For more on BARCS or make a donation, see their website, https://www.barcs.org/.
While the winner will be based on who gets the best hand of cards, you do not need to know the rules of poker. Rather, you only need to know the best hands, which can be found here: https://www.cardplayer.com/rules-of-poker/hand-rankings.
Additional poker hands and additional poker cards may be purchased when you register. For those attending only the lunch at Guinness Open Gate Brewery, poker hands and additional poker cards may be purchased during registration to donate funds to the BARCS.
