Rob's Automotive continues a long tradition of expert service and quality workmanship. The Roemer family has been a part of this community from the very begining. Being a descendant of the Roemer, Hiscox, and Healy families, owner Rob Roemer's ancestry can be traced back to the captain of the Mayflower, Captain Christopher Jones. His lineage also includes Hezekiah Healy who owned and built The Black Tavern on Center Rd. in Dudley. His Great-Great-Grandfather laid the cornerstone to the First Congregational Church of Dudley Conant Memorial in 1890 and his father, Dale Roemer, laid the cornerstone for the Steir Wing addition 100 years later in 1990.

Not only was the Roemer family involved in the building of some of the areas most beloved historical buildings, they were also a large part of local commerce. The pictures displayed in the showroom are from the turn of the century when Rob's great-grandfather, Emil Roemer, opened the first automobile dealership in the area, selling Hudson, Maxwell, and Ford motor cars, as well as Edison Phonographs and Edison Disks, and several brands of bicycles. The Roemer family owned shops on School Streeet and Mechanics Street in Webster, as well as Pine Street in Dudley. The Pine Street garage was owned by Fred Roemer. Pieces of a sign from one of these garages can be seen hanging over the service window here at Rob's Automotive.

In 1927 Emil decided to sell the franchise to George Place Senior. They are currently in business as Place Motors, selling Ford automobiles. It wasn't until 2008 when Rob opened Rob's Automotive out of his backyard garage that the Roemer legacy continued. After a successfull start, the business became to large for the old shop and was moved to 138 West Main Street in Dudley, MA in February 2011.

Thank you for your patronage.

European Auto Garage Poker Run Results

A poker run is an organized event in which participants, usually using motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, horses, on foot or other means of transportation, must visit five to seven checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Having the best hand and winning is purely a matter of chance. The event has a time limit, however the individual participants are not timed.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the record for the largest event was set in 2009 with 2,136 motorcyclists benefiting the Fallen Firefighter Survivors Foundation (FFSF).^[1]

The record for the largest single venue event was set in 2012, with 586 motorcyclists raising money for Prostate Cancer research in Ottawa, Canada.^[2]

Variations[edit]

Poker runs usually require a fee to enter and some for each additional hand; in some events a small part of the fee may go to funding the event, including the prizes, while the rest goes to the event's charity recipient or club treasury. In charity events usually most, if not all of the funds goes to the selected charity. Prizes, such as money, plaques, or merchandise donated by commercial sponsors of the event, are awarded for the best hand. Some runs will award smaller awards for lower hands or even the lowest hand.

Each checkpoint might offer food or entertainment, either covered by the entry fee or at additional cost. Each participant is responsible to maintain the integrity of their hand during the run. Hands are usually written down or marked with punched holes on a ticket, rather than assembled from actual cards given to the riders. The only requirement is that riders arrive at the final checkpoint by the time prizes are awarded, usually near the end of the day, typically at a party with food and refreshments. It might be required that participants collect all of the requisite number of cards, five or seven, or they might be allowed to miss checkpoints and use a hand with fewer cards, though the odds of a winning hand are much lower.

Transport[edit]

Although most events are on motorcycles, off-road vehicles, boats, or horses, events involving small aircraft, ATVs, bicycles, golf carts, snowmobiles,^[3] skateboards,^[4] running,^[5] canoeing and kayaking,^[6] and geocaching^[7] have been held.
