Swamp Angel poker run

The 2^nd Annual Swamp Angels Heritage Poker Run took place on Saturday and featured live performances by “Hard Labor”, “Riptide”, and Rusty Whitfield, as well as a Lighted Boat Parade featuring the Blackwater Pyrates.

Participants rode in the event to support and increase awareness about the city. Bikers traveled a route that took them through 100 miles of historic sites.

Kim Cato, program manager for Main Street Milton said, "The event is dedicated to downtown revitalization, historic preservation and a pedestrian-friendly environment.”

Bikers were expected to solve puzzles about seven historic sites along the way. Each rider was issued a sheet of paper that had questions about the historic sites along the route and was allowed a card draw for each correct answer. A one hundred dollar prize went to the rider with the best hand at the end of the ride.

Kevin Patane of the group “Hard Labor” rocked the crowd with raw vocal talent as the group performed on Saturday afternoon as part of the Main Street Nights Concert Series at the Riverwalk in Milton.

At the end of the night, lighted boats paraded down the Blackwater River to finish off the festivities.
