Special to The Sun

Please mark your calendars for the 6th Annual Memorial Poker Run “Remembering Jubel, Run for Hospice” event to be held on Saturday, March 9, 2024. This event is sponsored by the Wakulla Free Riders, in memory of Jubel Bissonnette.


Wakulla Free Riders, Jubel’s wife Sandy, and a host of dedicated volunteers and businesses in Wakulla County are honored to raise money for Big Bend Hospice to remember their friend and fellow Free Rider, Jubel. The Free Riders and community hope to exceed last year’s proceeds.
The first bike leaves Dux at 11:30 with additional stops at Ouzts in Newport, Las Brazas Restaurant in Woodville, Hobbit Southside, returning to Wakulla Free Riders Clubhouse (45 Allen Harvey St.) for dinner at 5:00. Cars are also welcome! Event donation jars are available throughout Wakulla county.
The poker run is $10 per hand. Cards can be purchased at each stop or at the clubhouse. Prizes include $100 for best hand, $25 for worst hand and a 50/50 and raffle.
Food is provided again this year by Hamaknockers and music by classic Southern rock band Electric Mayhem.
All proceeds from the event go to Big Bend Hospice in Wakulla County. For more information, please contact Bryan at (850) 694-2789, Rick at (850) 661-3817, or Sandy at (850) 510-8942.
