The New Castle Fire Department is sponsoring a poker run today to raise money to make repairs to the Henry County Emergency Management smoke house. The smoke house is a mobile unit used to teach children what to do if their house is on fire or full of smoke. The house is available to every fire department in the county. Cost to ride is $20, and registration begins at 10 a.m. at Scooters Bar, 1718 I Ave., New Castle. The first bike will leave at 10:30 a.m., and riders will stop in every community that has a fire department in the county.
