Motorcycle run Saturday is fundraiser for Hospice

HANNAWA FALLS — Motorcycle riders will take to the road Saturday for the 11th annual motorcycle run to raise money for Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the Shore Lounge, from which motorcyclists will start and return at the end of the day after traveling about 100 miles around St. Lawrence County.

A motorcycle blessing will be at 10:45 a.m.; riders will leave the Shore Lounge at 11 a.m. Free coffee and doughnuts will be available before heading out. Gas also will be available.

The 100-Mile Poker Run costs $5 per hand. The winner, who will receive 50 percent payback, will be announced at the Shore Lounge, where there also will be 50/50 fundraisers and other prizes.
