Bikers Giving Back (BGB) will sponsor another fundraising poker run on tap for Feb. 27 to benefit First Choice Pregnancy Center here.
The second annual Diaper Run will kick off with registration beginning at 8 a.m., next Saturday, at Home Depot.
The entry fees include diapers and baby wipes plus a $10 fee for the rider and $5 for the passenger of each bike participating.
Riders will make pit stops at five locations to pick up a playing card before ending the ride when the fun and games begin around 1 p.m. at the Maverick Saloon and Dance Hall on Mesquite Avenue.
Planned stops will begin with a ride to the Short Branch Saloon in Crystal where Kathy Bragg will serve up biscuits and gravy as long as supplies last. She makes great gravy so getting registered early means riders get a crack at breakfast -- free.
Next is Nevada Joe's in Lathrop Wells for another playing card and down Highway 373 to the Stateline Saloon.
The circle continues through Shoshone with a stop at the Crowbar Cafe, then back to Pahrump and Wulfy's Sports Lounge.
The run ends and the party starts at the Maverick with two local live bands, raffles and a strong-man demonstration from a professional competitor from Colorado Springs, Colo.
Volunteers will be cooking burgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings and homemade chili. Those who didn't ride but want to enjoy the entertainment and have something to eat can do so for $3.
The high hand winner for the poker run will take home a cash prize from a percentage of the profits.
There will be a meeting to finalize all the plans but thus far there will be biker games like the "keg roll" and "slow ride." One more game is planned.
The entry fee for the games will be $5 per person.
BGB is a nonprofit organization working to have fun while raising money for charity in hopes the acts of community service will shed a softer light on the biker image.

A portion of net proceeds from this event are donated to Adaptive Action Sports, Inc., a non-profit organization. AAS helps young people, returning veterans and others who have lost limbs or have other physical challenges, get back into sports, music and arts.
