MS Powerboat Poker Run
Saturday, August 21st,  DiMillo’s Marina

The MS Harborfest Powerboat Poker Run is a fun family event on the protected waters of Portland Harbor and Casco Bay. After a parade around Portland Harbor, boats travel to area marinas to pick up a card-stop tag before tying up at DiMillo’s Marina for the party. Under the big tent, the cardstop tags are exchanged for playing cards with the highest poker hands winning valuable prizes.

“The Poker Run is not a race,” says Ted Hugger, Poker Run chairman. “The prizes are based on which boats turn in the best poker hands. In fact, you don’t even have to run the course in a boat…poker hands may be purchased at the door and include admission to the party.”

Participants are encouraged to “dress ship” with decorations or costumes. Each card stop will feature a different theme, with lots of fun give-aways for participants. The post event party includes a barbecue, music, cash bar, raffl es, and free dockage at DiMillo’s for the party. The Poker Run will be held rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, the party will still go on under the big tent, with poker hands distributed and the prizes awarded.
