Gridiron hosts 'Night at the Races'

April 30, 2008

The Streetsboro Gridiron Club is hosting a Night at the Races on May 2 at the Streetsboro American Legion Post No. 685 on Aurora-Hudson Road.

The cost is $15 for entry and dinner. During the dinner, pre-recorded races will be selected at random with attendees able to "buy" a horse for $10 each. Attendees can name the horse and an announcer will call the race as it happens "live.

If an attendee owns the winning horse for a race, they win the pot of money.

Knowledge of horse racing is not required to have a good time and participate in any of the 10 races.

The door for the event will open at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 7 p.m.

For more information or to buy tickets, call Dr. Sam Lewis at 330-422-1551.
