CINCINNATI — Have you ever wished to play Texas Hold ‘Em alongside your favorite Cincinnati Reds?
If so, the Reds Community Fund has the perfect event for you this year at Redsfest.
The eleventh annual Prestige Audio Visual & Creative Services Reds Community Fund Celebrity Poker Tournament presented by Ashlee Fence is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3, in the Grand Ball Room on the third floor at the Duke Energy Convention Center.
The doors will open at 3 p.m. for registration and side games, and the tournament will begin at 4.
Each table of 10 will feature a current or former Reds player, coach, broadcaster or other local celebrity.
