The City of Glidden is looking to raise funds for its Parks and Recreation Department with a weekend poker tournament. Glidden Parks and Rec Director Mike Schulze says previous euchre tournaments have been tremendously popular with residents, so they decided to expand into Texas Hold’em. The cost to participate is $45 per person, which includes a meal of pulled pork sandwiches and cheesy potatoes. Registration opens at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Downtown Lounge, and play begins at 4 p.m. Schulze explains how the tournament will operate.
Organizers are planning a 50-percent prize pool payout for the top-placing players. Schulze says the other 50 percent will go back to the Glidden Parks and Recreation Department to fund additional programs in the community.
As of the preregistration deadline of Nov. 4, close to 20 people have signed up, but Schulze says they have plenty of room for anybody wanting to play. Interested participants are encouraged to contact Glidden City Hall at 712-659-3010 with any questions they may have. Again, registration for the Parks and Rec Fall Texas Hold’em Tournament opens at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Downtown Lounge in Glidden.
