Kiwanis club, United Way fundraiser to include ugly sweaters, pub crawl

An ugly sweater contest, a pub crawl and poker walk — all in one night.

The Kiwanis Club of Port Angeles has teamed up with United Way of Clallam County to bring the third-annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Pub Crawl & Poker Walk to downtown Port Angeles. This year’s event is set for 6:30-10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21.

Event tickets for the pub crawl are $15 in advance and are available online at kiwanis pubcrawl.brownpaper tickets.com through Dec. 20.

Tickets will be sold at the check-in point for $20 after that.

Event tickets include entry into the Ugly Sweater Contest and 2 drink tickets to be used at participating locations. A special price for designated drivers/sober attendees is $7 and can be purchased at the check-in point.

Attendees check-in on the first floor of The Landing Mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., starting at 6:30 p.m., where they receive the evening’s supplies. For an additional $5, attendees can join in the Poker Walk for a chance to win 50 percent of the poker walk proceeds.

The night’s festivities end at The Metta Room, 132 E. Front St., where the ugly sweater contest is set, along with the announcement of the Poker Walk winners. The winners of the ugly sweater contest receive cash prizes. Two winners will be picked best individual ugly sweater and best couple.

“This year’s event should be a really fun! We’ve moved it to Friday, we have new bar(s) participating, and with the help of United Way, this should be a really fun and festive fundraiser,” Darcey Beck, Kiwanis Club of Port Angeles President, said.

Additional bars and restaurants that would like to be a participating location are asked to contact Beck at 360-461-4846 or Hayley Pearce at 360-457-3011 by Dec. 15.
