Does ANYONE, especially in Colorado,--have ANY info on the yearly "rally/ poker-run" we have,-( usually around this time of year-to maybe May/June timeframe), for the  Police who "fell in the line of duty"??? I have even contacted the "Blue-Knights" for this area, and can't get an answer from anyone. Everyone I talk to,--can't come up with any kind of an answer that makes sense, or they don't know for sure. Would apprreciate any info on this I can find.
