The fun starts in the Tahoe Ballroom, on the fourth floor of the Peppermill, with a cocktail party featuring free beer at 6 p.m. Cards will be in the air at 7 p.m. and the blinds will increase every 20 minutes.
Ten prizes will be up for grabs, including a one-year membership at Red Hawk Golf Course, a $4,000 value. Early signup offers a benefit - players registering early (before October 1) receive $1,500 in chips. Players signing up before November 1 get $1,250 in chips and everyone who registers after November 1 receives $1,000 in chips.
