The 10th annual Mutt Strut Poker Run is Oct. 12 on your calendar. It will start and end at Lakeview Commons in South Lake Tahoe.

And please have your fingers crossed that our weather will be more like this week, and not last weekend!

Three poker hands are $20 in advance ($25 day of event) and three hands plus a Mutt Strut T-shirt are $30. They are available at Alpine Animal Hospital (921 Emerald Bay Road) or Bonanza Boot and Leather (at the Chateau) or call 530.307.3638.

Registration from 11-11:30am. The walk is 1.6 miles.

Proceeds benefit Animal Coalition of Tahoe.
