Poker run makes Holyoke stop

A good thing just keeps getting better. The seventh annual Mayor’s Poker Run, held Saturday, July 11, drew 45 riders, up 11 from last year.

Motorcyclists gathered at the Imperial, Nebraska, city gym to register and prepare for their ride to benefit a local charity — the Giving Circle.

“I think the great turnout is because everyone has been couped up, and they were ready to get out for some fun, fresh air, seeing good friends while helping a charity,” Mayor Dwight Coleman said.

Also included in the entourage was a bright yellow 1934 Model A 130, also called the Bonnie and Clyde car. Owner Dennis Coleman from Farmington, New Mexico, is the older brother of the mayor. “This is the same model and year of car Bonnie and Clyde met their end by shotgun,” Dennis said.
