4th Annual Wardens on Wheels Rally

The 4th Annual rally is scheduled to take place the weekend of August 13 to 15th.  The rally will take place at The North American Game Warden Museum located in the International Peace Gardens.  The Peace Gardens sit on the US/Canadian border, south of Brandon, MB, north-east of Minot, ND. 

We will make plans to meet for supper on Friday.  Saturday we will be meeting at the museum at noon.  After our meeting and lunch we will be heading out on the poker run.  Supper on Saturday will be decided upon by the group.  Last year it consisted of smokies cooked over an open fire and was lots of fun. 
A tenting area will be reserved at Lake Metogoshe State Park, ND for those that will be camping.  The campground also serves as home for the poker run and evening entertainment.  A block of rooms have been reserved at the nearby Quilt Inn, (701) 263-6500.  Alternate accommodations are listed in the Peace Gardens web site.  http://www.peacegarden.com/

Riders will require a valid passport.  The poker run is scheduled to travel into Canada before returning to the campground.  Riders are also asked to each donate a prize for the poker run.  A pledge form is being developed that we can use to raise funds for the planned expansion and upkeep of the museum.  To date we have raised approximately $6,000.00 in our first three years.  Watch here for the pledge form to be posted.
