SPRD offers 'Cruise to the Moon'- UPDATED, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20

Sisters Park & Recreation District will host "Cruise to the Moon," a six-stop poker run on September 23, that will culminate at Crescent Moon Ranch for music, dinner, auction and an alpaca winter apparel fashion show.

The poker run will kick off at Black Butte Ranch with a continental breakfast at 11 a.m. Participants will then travel to The Lodge at Suttle Lake, Three Creeks Brewing Company, Aspen Lakes Golf Course, Faith, Hope and Charity Winery (wine tasting available), and then end at Crescent Moon Ranch.

At each stop they will be given a poker card and be given the chance to play games that allow the opportunity for more cards. At the ranch they will play their best hand. The winner will be awarded a cash purse.

There is no need to have a fancy car to participate. The point is to have some fun, enjoy visiting some local hot spots, and then have a fun evening at the ranch.

Diners will enjoy a rib dinner. Adult beverages will be available for purchase.

Music will be provided by local band The Anvil Blasters.

Crescent Moon Ranch is one of the premier alpaca breeding ranches in the country. The ranch features a beautiful view of the Cascade mountains, beautiful grounds including ponds and waterfalls. The ranch is home to more than 350 alpacas and features The Alpaca Boutique, which specializes in high-end coats, scarves, socks and apparel, all made from alpaca fleece.

The fashion show will feature the most up-to-date styles for the fall and winter season.
