#19 Simi Valley Boys & Girls Club Annual Poker Tournament – 365 Things to do in Simi Valley

July 28, 2010 By Ted Mackel 1 Comment

(Video Below) Some people asked me if 365 things to do in Simi Valley would revolve around eating. While restaurants will definitely get coverage, activities in Simi Valley are very diverse. The Boys and Girls Club of Simi Valley has been a big part of this community for over 36 years. The valuable service the Boys and Girls Club has provided Simi Valley is greatly appreciated through the support of the community and business owners involved in events like the Boys and Girls Club Annual Poker Tournament.

This one night event is one of the better fundraisers I have attended in Simi Valley. Tournament Poker is very popular on TV and online. This event gives poker fans an opportunity to come out, compete against other poker players and possibly win a prize if they can make it to the last table of the evening. Even for those like myself who are not poker players, I had a great time to sit down and learn the game while supporting one of Simi Valley’s top organizations. If you’ve ever wondered what a charity poker tournament is like, please check out the video below and I hope to see you at the tables next year.

The Simi Valley Rotary Club and the City of Simi Valley puts on a great display every year. The barrage of Fireworks are launched from the Soccer Foundation Fields behind Ablertson’s at the Corner of Stearns and Los Angeles Avenue.

Simi Valley Residents line the hillsides on the north and south sides of Simi Valley to get a view of the Fireworks as well. Come down and join the community for all the fun. Parking is a little tough, but it is well worth the walk if you park farther away. 365 Things to do in Simi Valley will be covering this event with a video for those who miss the event.
