2025 Grenfell Lights Poker Run a success!

2025 Grenfell Lights Car Poker Run

The 2025 Grenfell Lights Poker Run on the weekend of Friday/Saturday/Sunday 19-20-21 September 2025 was a success and featured the Ford Mustang which was celebrating the launch in 1965 of the much-fancied Ford Mustang Fastback. Members from Mustang Car Clubs across NSW will be coming to Grenfell for our 2^nd event.

It was the 2nd staging of the Poker Run by the Grenfell Lions Club with the support of members from the Grow Grenfell Group. The event is an important annual fundraiser for the Grenfell Lights project which is continuing to install exhibition-style lighting on the facades of building along our main street precinct. The project to-date has been head-lined by the impressive Grenfell Silos Lightshow which was launched back in December 2023 and on display every night of the year from sunset.

The 2025 Grenfell Lights Car Poker Run provided the owner of the winning hqnd with a $1,000.00 cash prize and awarded to a female member of the visiting Cooma Car Club.
