Lake Tahoe Humane Society holding "Poker Ride" and "Show and Shine"

The Lake Tahoe Humane Society is inviting everyone to their fundraisers this weekend in South Lake Tahoe, both which get people outside, visiting their favorite bars and beaches, and both helping out pets in the area.

The action starts on Saturday, August 20 with a fun Poker Ride which starts off at California Burger at Heavenly Village. Registration starts at 10:00 a.m. and the event starts at noon.

Poker hands will be collected at five stops, which include beaches and bars. The hands will be entered into the contest, with the worst and best winning bicycles.

Participants may purchase as many poker hands as they wish. The cost is $20 per person and includes the first poker card, a barbeque at the last stop and five raffle tickets for great prizes. Poker cards are $5 each.

Continue the fun on Sunday with the Lake Tahoe Humane Society's first ever Show and Shine Bike Show on August 21 at Lakeview Commons.

They'll have bikes on display, fun vendors and a beer garden run by South Lake Tahoe's Cold Water Brewery.
