CLAY COUNTY – Motorists did double-takes Sunday morning on the long route between four area clubs as a man dressed as Santa Claus led a parade of motorcyclists in the Santa Poker Run. The event was sponsored by Operation Santa Cause, which raises money to provide toys for children of Florida National Guard and Gold Star families. Riders met at American Legion Post 250 in Middleburg before embarking on a ride that included stops at Howlin Wolf Bar in Melrose, Cheyenne Saloon in East Palatka, Red Dog Saloon in Starke and ending five hours later at Boogerville Hideout in Green Cove Springs. Riders, guests and patrons also enjoyed music, vendor displays and food at Boogerville. EXIT Realty Corp. International and EXIT Realty will match funds up to $5,000.
