Any Poker Runs or Events the First weekend of August?
 

Trying to see what events are the first weekend of August 2010. I am considering an event date and want to make sure we have no real conflicts.

Whats out there to do that week?

2010 Powerboating for a Cure Poker Run - Norfolk Va

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2010 American Cancer Society's, PowerBoating for a Cure Poker Run will be held on August 6-7.

Thinking about trying this one,something different and a good cause. :drink:

I'm looking at having a few boating friends(all are invited) to Lake Lanier, Ga that weekend.

Good times, but I didn't want to have conflicts with other events.

Guarantee you'll have a good time. Two day event - modeled closely to the Jacksonville River Rally PR.

Keith you should definetly attend that run. Myself and a big group from Jax will be in attendance.

Well, there go some of my Lanier invitees. :lolhit:

The PR of all PR's (Emerald Isle-Destin, Fl) is always around the 1st or 2nd week of Aug. Don't know the exact dates for this year.............

If all are invited, we would love to make the trip over from Destin. Please let us know....Mykalvballer

Looking forward to seeing all of you! Gonna be a pretty awsome event.

Here is our 2010 thread on OSO - Aaron - make the same post on that thread.

I feel so loved!! Ya think we can stay out of trouble?? :drink:

Any other ideas on a weekend when there is not a large event somewhere else in the southeast?

Greg, what about late june - early July?

Are there any big runs between Jacksonville and Jammin on the James?

I can't guarantee that !! :drink: :evilb:

I suppose the first question should be....... When are you going to clean the cobb webs off all that cash and buy you another boat??? :drink:

I've been waiting to add yours to the pile so I can get a canoe. LOL.

Plus, MOJO sold...:mad:


I think we should do a weekend on Lanier the last week of June. The usual suspects plus anyone that can make it. Go out on the town in the ATL and party on the lake for the weekend.

Lake Hartwell is June 12th
Lake Murray is June 26th
Tenn. River is July 10th

So you are thinking about June 25th - 27th?? This may be tuff to do with all the July 4th vacations that are happening.

You all need to do Powerboating for a Cure - Norfolk Va.

It is the biggest event in Mid Atlantic (James River & Chesapeake Bay area) - 2 day event with a fun run and poker run, 2 parties, prizes etc!
I hear we are drawing some of the "big boys" from Fla, NJ and LOTO to this event. It was the buzz in the boating community last year.
Looking good for a Poker Run village of sorts - so far I hear we have Illmor, Sunsation, Donzi and a few others bringing their rigs and support trailers. It is modeled heavily after the Jacksonville River Rally Poke Run - in fact Bill Pyburn Sr has been helping us this year and last. You should give it a shot - Powerboating for a Cure is NOT some small regional event! 4 - 5 years ago, Jacksonville River Rally was on of the best kept "secrets" in poker runs, that's where Powerboating for a Cure was last year. Now we have the attention of the big boys and this event is rapidly becoming one of THE must do events.

There is a thread on OSO from last year and one for 2010. Read the comments from last year - participants said Powerboating for a Cure was the best Poker Run they have attended. . . . . . .

The event was SO successful, we got the attention of the Platinum Powerboat Club;

Powerboating for a Cure is on their schedule to attend (check out their website and schedule) - and they only do the "cream of the crop" events - just sayin. . . . . . .

Yep, that was the reason I was trying to do August. Maybe there just isn't a "good" weekend this Summer to do it. Shame, I really was hoping to get the whole gang to "my" lake.
