Central Kentucky Raid Group invites all Pokemon Go enthusiasts to join 

A new group hitting the scenes says it’s “the No. 1 raid group in Kentucky” where Pokemon Go is concerned, standing strong at 150 members. Central Kentucky Raid Group invites any Pokemon Go enthusiasts out with them, as they host 9-12 legendary raids each day. The group functions from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. seven days a week, offers a family friendly atmosphere and all levels of players and teams. “Spoofers” (cheaters) are not welcome on this circuit and will be reported, and CKRG hosts a small-town atmosphere with no cussing allowed. The group is free to join by downloading the BAND app on smartphones — there, participants will find a chat room with members and information about where the group will be raiding. 

For anyone who wants to know more about them, a Halloween party will be 5:30-7:30 p.m. Oct. 29 at Giovanni’s Pizza, 1418 Hustonville Road in Danville.
