!st time at peace river poker rally, all in all it was a good day, supper was great the way they did the door prizes was goofy we were a group of 10 that all bought poker hands 4 children, I did not care that i did not get a door prize but when some of the kids did not its dishearting for them as they dont fully understand, also the box was not mixed very well as we were a group of first ones in and we were pretty well the last group pulled out, so not mixed at all , some of the people were called out 3 times in a row. This poker rally is not geared to kids in any means, so i did enjoy the supper i spent over 500$ on poker hands 50/50 and supper and mine 9 year old grand daughter got a drywall hat for a door prize, so Peace river brush up on that to make it better, Next year I will opt out, I hear the Fort saint John poker rally is great fun for the kids also so I think I will try to attend that one for sure,
