ABOUT THE EVENTS
Proceeds from this year's show will benefit the Great Falls Public School Foundation's School Pantry Program.
Of the 10,000 students in Great Falls Public Schools, nearly 5 percent are homeless, and more than 40 percent qualify for free and reduced lunch. These are very high numbers and show the incredible need for the food pantry program in our district.

FRIDAY NIGHT POKER RUN
To start the weekend off right, Friday night, May 2nd, 2025, will feature our annual poker run around Great Falls. This will be a shotgun start, so you can begin the run at any of the 5 poker stop locations. The event starts a 6:00 pm and ends at 9:00 pm. All hand(s) must be turned in by 9:30pm or they will not be counted. The turn in location is The Stadium Sports Bar & Casino, or as we call it, Party Central.
