Will be there.
Good run for locals and out of towners that want to see Cleveland area/Shooters and west of Cleveland, running to Lorain. Shooters is great on Sat. night too. Also I think there might be a stop at Roverfest at Voinvich park (next to Rock Hall).
Also Olde River Marina has a Nice Pool, Hot Tub and Tiki Bar.

Starting to get a lot of replies and entry forms, but no chatter.
So tell me... Eho's going?

Ill be there with the wife... Looking forward to a good time. Will be first time on Erie, so you guys will have to school me.

Hey! Whats the headcount so far?

Difficult to say. Pre-registration isn't required. But my estimation says we'll have at least 4 boats. Lol

It'll be a blast. Weather is looking goo so far. Be sure to bring your "fun face". Hahaha...

Only 3 days away and I've got around 26 pre registered!!! Can't wait. This should be the biggest HTPR ever! Be at Shooters by 9 am to register.

I'm in.....?
 

Got a club function that day but will try to make it with a couple other boats...

Looking foward to the run. Then Shooters at night.
See you guys there.

Hope we can see you there. fyi... should be back in the Cleveland area around 3 PM, with the final stop at Shooters are 6 PM. Hope you can all make it.

Just to clarify...
So far, I have only 4 boats pre-registered... but a total of 26 people.
I have 6 other boats that promise to show...
And history shows that I should expect that same number of boats to show up to register on the spot.

So we expect tp have approximately 20 boats total.
So if you're looking for a "Poker Runs America" size of Poker run, this isn't it, but i do promise a good turnout... plus we're giving away prizes, there's Hidden Cash, and we're raffling off a LCD TV, and more... So there's going to be a lot of winners in this Poker Run, and it will be a good time!!! GUARANTEED!!! :evilb: :coolcowboy:

Here's a few Q&A type responses:

Q: Do I have to do all stops and be present at the final stop for my hand to count?
A: No. If you can't make it to the final stop, or you want to skip a stop, no problem. But, I am the only person that will whitness cards being opened, and the last hand will be opened at or around 7 PM in which a final winner will be announced. So if you break down and haven't opened your cards, you have until 7 PM to contact me that you will be driving to Shooters and will be there to open your cards.

Q: Is there a pre-part?
A: Yes. At Olde River Yacht Club there is a pre-party Friday night. Including live entertainment both nights. ORYC is equipped with a outdoor tiki bar, outdoor pool and jacuuzi. To get to ORYC from the water, head towards Cleveland, come down the Cuyahoga river. Immediately after crossing the first railroad bridge, turn right down the Olde River. Follow the Olde River until you see the first marina… that’s Olde River. The second marina is Ivancic Marine (aka Channel Park Marina and Formula Boats dealer).

Q: Can I only purchase one hand?
A: You can purchase as many as you want. The first hand is $65 (includes a $15 donation to Make-A-Wish), each hand after that is $50.

Q: What time do you start?
A: The boats will un-tie from the Shooters deck promptly at 10:45 AM (weather permitting).

Q: What time do you return?
A: Last stop is scheduled to return to the Shooters deck at 6 PM. Check-in is required before 7 PM. If you break down, or can’t make the last stop before 7 PM you must call me or another staff of the Poker Run. The Coast Guard may be called for search and rescue if anyone is believed to be in distress or missing. Please be sure to check-in before 7 PM… I don’t want to make that decision.

Q: Where is overnight dockage available at?
A: Olde River Yacht Club has overnight dockage available for Friday and Saturday night. Call ahead for availability and price. Let them know you’re with the Poker Run. 216-630-1079.

Q: Is there a gas dock nearby?
A: Yes. Ivancic Marine is a sponsor of the Poker Run and had gas available. He is located right next door to Olde River Yacht Club. He also has a grocery store to buy chip, beer, etc. and a marine store for parts and a lift of you need/prefer to be lifted in/out of the water.

Q: Is there a public launch nearby?
A: Yes. Edgewater Park is located adjacent to Olde River Yacht Club and is walking distance away. There are 6 deep and long public ramps available at no charge and a large parking lot for overnight parking, or day parking. The public ramp is off Rt. 2 at the Edgewater Park exit, turn right. To google for directions, use Whiskey Island Drive, Cleveland, OH

WOW Joe!!! Great job in putting this together! We had a great time and look forward to next year!

Thanks!!!

I wanna thank everyone that came out for the Poker Run. We were worried about the weather, but it turned out to be perfect. Calm waters, no rain, filtered sun and not excessively hot, and of course, great company. Met some new friends, and saw a few old friends. Lunch at the Jackelope Lakeside in Lorain was fantastic, can't wait to go back. Shooters was a little less than hospitable, but the food was great.
We had a great turnout, best ever, and a nice size pot for the winner (Allie), and a few "hidden treasures" to mix things up. I also want to congratulate Charla, the winner of the 32" TV, and Bob for winning the box of Specialized boat parts/tools from Whoya Products (www.stores.ebay.com/whoyaproducts). We also raised a sizable collection for Make-A-Wish, I want to thank everyone for their donations.
Stay tuned for video and pics to follow.

SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!!!!

Nice video

Any of you guys interested in heading to Erie, PA for a get together? Looks like a pretty nice group will be there. Don't think I can make it, but looks like it'd be worth the trip over!
