We are just hours away from the inaugural Betting on the Community: Poker Hand Pub Crawl TODAY, Saturday, September 7th from 4-8 PM in downtown Nashua. 😊 There's still time to purchase your ticket!

Betting on the Community is a thrilling journey through five local bars and restaurants in Nashua's vibrant nightlight scene. At each venue, participants will be dealt a playing card, adding a new element of suspense and strategy to the evening. Collect your cards and aim for the best hand possible as you navigate through the city, all while enjoying the lively atmosphere and camaraderie of fellow supporters. Folks will start at one bar as a big unit, rotate through three others in smaller groups (to allow for bars of all sizes to join in the event) and then end at the same place for awards and raffle prizes!

💰 The Ultimate Prize:
As the night unfolds, the stakes will rise, and anticipation will mount as participants vie for the coveted title of having the best poker hand. The lucky individual who holds the winning combination will take home a cash prize, making every card dealt a potential game-changer. It’s not just about the luck of the draw; it’s about rallying together as a community to make a difference.

🎉 Supporting a Worthy Cause:
By joining us for the Poker Hand Pub Crawl, you’re not only in for an unforgettable night of fun and entertainment but also making a meaningful impact in the Greater Nashua community. Every dollar raised goes directly towards supporting United Way’s vital initiatives, ensuring that individuals and families in need receive the assistance and resources they deserve. Guests of the pub crawl will have access to special prices at the bars, so they will also be supporting local businesses in a more pocket friendly way.
