ELLINWOOD – The Kansas Sidewinders Motorcycle Club will hold it’s annual casino night to benefit United Way of Central Kansas from 7-10 p.m. Saturday at the group’s clubhouse,  21 N. Main in Ellinwood.
The entry fee is a suggested donation of $20 at the door. This buys “$10,000” in chips or two tickets for a prize drawing.
Prizes include a 19-inch flat-screen television, a beef bundle, $200 in cash and more. There will also be casino games and a silent auction. Food and beverages will be available.
The goal for the 2012 UWCK campaign is $235,000, up from last year’s target of $225,000, and the theme is Live United. Heading up the are co-chairs Marsha and Roy Westoff of Great Bend and Tama Hanson of Larned, along with new board members Jane Fox of Larned and Becca Maxwell of Ellinwood.
