Man I would love to do this run but it's the weekend after the Boyne run and we can't do two runs back to back.

Take 50th to Simmons Park. Can not miss. The city is letting us take over the whole park. Expecting 80 boats. Great prizes and a chance to win a new 2011 Ford Raptor Truck. I saw one yesterday for the first time. WOW is that truck cool. There will be about 4000 people watching us take off across the channel at Farmers Market. Plus the City of Kenosha is pushing this hard to make it a big event. A nice dinner with entertainment, great prizes all for a small entry fee. The run costs are being subsidized by our sponsors. Not a hard choice which Poker Run to do this summer.

Can you tell me how many miles the run is set up to be and where the card stops are?

[redhotsommer]

So am I going????

Yes. Yes you are. As am I. And we should probably get the other clowns to do so as well so we can have a circus.

[Bradz]

Kenosha Harbor to Milwaukee for lunch. About 35-40 miles each way. Cards will drawn before the dinner.
