The Animal Coalition of Tahoe will host its second Mutt Strut Poker Run on Oct. 15 along Ski Run Boulevard.
Registration will be 11-11:30 a.m. at the Alder Inn, 1072 Ski Run Blvd.
Participants in this fun, family event walk a 1.2-mile course with their dogs, choosing a playing card at each stop.
Those with the best three poker hands will win great prizes donated by local merchants.
A party at Ski Run Marina will cap off the event, with music, games, giveaways and raffle drawings.
Everyone with a friendly dog is invited to participate.
One poker hand is $10, three hands are $25.
Proceeds benefit the nonprofit Animal Coalition's spay-neuter program and the El Dorado County Animal Shelter renovation fund.
