"Largest Harley Parade" is casino's goal Sunday
The Seminole Casino Immokalee is trying to attract more than 2,000 bikers in an attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the “Largest Harley Parade.”
The plan is for Harley owners to meet at the Germain Arena in Estero at noon on Sunday for a ride to the casino in Immokalee.
To register for the Sunday's hog ride, call 800-218-0007. All Harley riders will receive a certificate for their participation if the record is broken.
The record is believed to be 2,118 Harleys, at a Children's Hospital Toy Run in Denver on Dec. 8, 2002.
To get to the Germain Arena from the north, take I-75 to Exit 128 (Alico Road). Go east on Alico to Ben Hill Griffin Parkway and drive south approximately 3.5 miles. The arena will be on the right. From the south, take I-75 to Exit 123 (Corkscrew Road). Go east on Corkscrew and drive north on Ben Hill Griffin Parkway. The arena will be on the left. The arena address is 11000 Everglades Parkway.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
